Heritage Note

A heritage note says where a dish comes from and how it travelled. It is not a serving suggestion and it is never invented; if the origin is uncertain, say so.

Jollof rice traces to the Senegambian rice tradition of the Wolof, and moved east and south along the West African coast through trade and migration.
