About this dish
In concept, it is similar to that of French mother sauces: a sauce from which other sauces are made, or to the Mexican mole. It can be used as the base with which Jollof rice is made, either at the initial or near prepared state. Plain cooked rice, yam and bread are also eaten with it. In Nigerian cooking the sauce is "ubiquitous".
