This fonio pilaf is a twist on the savory tomato and bell pepper-based party dish called jollof, which is typically made with rice. Fonio is an ancient, gluten-free grain grown in West Africa. Similar to couscous, fonio is a quick-cooking grain that is beloved for its nutritional benefits and versatile cuisine uses. Founded in 2017, Yoll grains and spices promote small farmers in Western Africa who use sustainable growing practices.
