00:00We're back in the Roots and Recipes house, presented by Essence and Coca-Cola on this beautiful summer day.
00:06I'm Dr. Wendy, and this is my mom, Iom Susan.
00:10Today, we are making Iom's authentic Nigerian jellof rice, a dish that's all about family, flavor, and tradition.
00:20Once everything simmers, we put it in the oven, and that's what gives jellof rice its rich, smoky flavor.
00:26Of course, no jellof rice is complete without sweet fried plantain.
00:33We're also tossing a few on the grill, a lighter twist that's perfect for the summer.
00:40This food tells our story. It connects us, it uplifts us, and it always brings us home.
00:47And the best part is sharing it with the one you love.
00:51And what a better way to refresh than with two delicious drinks featuring Coca-Cola.
00:58Here's the ingredients to make the smoky Zobo Cola meal.
01:04Our next drink is the Mocktail, the Coconut Cola Refresher.
01:08For any of these drinks, you can also use Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.
01:16From our kitchen to yours, may your meals refresh, uplift, and connect your souls.
01:23Cheers, baby.
