Oil Rice is a flavorful dish rooted in West African cuisine, particularly popular in Ghana and Nigeria. This simple yet hearty recipe combines rice cooked with a generous amount of vegetable, palm, or coconut oil, along with onions, garlic, and sometimes spices such as ginger or chili for added depth. It is often served alongside stews, grilled proteins, or fresh vegetables. While Oil Rice is an excellent source of carbohydrates and provides quick energy, its high oil content makes it calorie-dense, which may not suit low-fat diets if consumed excessively. On the positive side, the inclusion of plant-based cooking oils can provide healthy fats when used in moderation, and some variations incorporate nutrient-rich ingredients like tomatoes or herbs, boosting its overall nutritional value. Known for its comforting taste and versatility, Oil Rice represents a fusion of tradition and simplicity in African cuisine.
