Native Jollof Rice with it's distinct taste and flavour😋, is one of the easiest rice recipes to make requiring few simple ingredients and a perfect substitute for when you're bored of other rice recipes (also when you want to eat on a budget😁🤫). 

It was given the name Concoction Rice because it's a meal you make when you crave something with lots of ground crayfish, super spicy, oily,with a fresh kick and lots of onions and you also want to eat rice as a Nigerian, so you throw in all the ingredients together like you're making a form of concoction. 

As a student, you will need to cook Concoction rice at some point or another , this is a meal you cook when you don't have time and the means to buy the ingredients for a proper jollof rice, when you just want to fill stomach space hence the name Emergency Jollof Rice. 

For some though, it's no longer an emergency but a full-fledged meal filled with plenty orisirisi like smoked fish, prawns, ponmo, suya, boiled eggs.

In this method, I just made use of plenty crayfish, feel free to add some smoked fish if you have any😜.
