By introducing Ghana jollof to the world, Ghanaian football player Kudus Mohammed shows Ghana jollof at West Ham United’s preseason practices.
The Black Stars offensive midfielder, decked out in West Ham kit, is shown enjoying the dish in a video posted by Joysports on X, which also includes a recipe.
Wearing the recognizable black West Ham jersey, Kudus fervently praises Ghanaian food in the ad, urging viewers to give it a try and promising a satisfying meal.
He specifically praises plantains as a key ingredient in the dish, emphasizing their importance in creating its distinctive taste.
“I feel like I’m back in Ghana now. This is Ghanaian Jollof, one of my favourite meals. It’s basically rice mixed with stew. Alongside, we have plantain, some salad, chicken, and kebab. The kebab is lamb with spices – it’s quite popular and delicious. You should give it a go. Plantain is like banana but fried, and it’s my favorite.”
