Many Nigerians would agree that Jollof
rice is perhaps one of the easiest meals to prepare, but among those
contesting for the Seasoned One on Knorr Taste Quest 4, easy has become an understatement.
And so it happened that contestants of
the Knorr Taste Quest 4
were given 3 tomatoes only, beef, Rosemary,
Blueband margarine, Rice and Melon to make Jollof rice in 30 minutes.
True, it sounds very simple but the routes they took in their execution
almost marked the end of the journey for some of the contestants.
Moronfolu got an “okay” feedback from Dr. Robert and Chef Fregs because
of his tough steaks, while Rukayat, could have had a pass, “but” having
to scoop her rice out of the pot because of time constraint, and
according to the judges, even plating could not save her Jollof rice,
which was described as: “A meal that shouldn’t be touched.”
In all, Damilola emerged the best for the day. His right mix of ingredients and Knorr Seasoning cubes
got him an excellent meal which earned him commendations and N20,000
shopping voucher from Shoprite. Navih took the second best for the day,
although his rice was too spicy, his steaks were commended. And though
Johnson, Hirhyel, Emmanuel, Gbenga, Phoebe, Rukayat, Moronfolu and
Oluwaseun had various things wrong with their dishes, they got saved
from eviction by the unanimous decision of the judges.

As it is, Jollof rice may not be as easy
as it seems even as the quest for the Seasoned One on Knorr Taste Quest
4 continues. Catch all the action on the below stations:
