Jollof Rice 101: Besa Gordon Gets Schooled by Chef Tina of Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen
What's better than a plate of jollof rice? Learning to make it yourself from a pro! Besa Gordon, host of Back2Besa, recently hit the kitchen at Seattle's Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen for a jollof rice masterclass with Chef Tina Fahnbulleh. And let's just say things got delicious.
Chef Tina, the culinary queen behind Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen's mouthwatering menu, spilled all her secrets to Besa, from the perfect blend of spices to the all-important tomato paste that gives jollof its signature color.
During the segment, Besa, and Chef Tina joked about how Besa would come in once a week and order jollof rice. And sometimes, she would actually call close to closing to see if the kitchen was open to get her favorite dish. It’s safe to say it was only a matter of time before Besa stopped by to learn how to make the dish for herself.
Now, although, Chef Tina has officially shown Besa how to make her favorite dish of jollof rice. Besa said she plans on stopping by at least twice a month to get it.
Currently, Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen is closed until October 3rd. So in the meantime, head over to their website, go gokdcoastghal.com, and check out their menu, and be sure to stop by this Thursday and order Besa‘s favorite dish while you’re there.
