Jollof rice
The famous “Naija Jollof” rice cannot be left out of your Christmas meal plan. The sizzling aroma of this dish creates a mouthwatering effect even before the meal is served. This is the No 1 dish on our list.
Oven roasted brine-soaked turkey
Brining preserves food while improving tenderness and flavour of the food. That’s due to the addition of herbs, sugar, spices, caramel, and vinegar. Brined turkey is an intercontinental dish that’s best served with stuffing. You can hire a chef to make this for you if you don’t know how to.

Fruitcakes
Fruitcakes are made with candied or dried fruits, nuts and spices. Sometimes they’re soaked in spirits as a form of preservation. Given the rich nature of the cake, they’re often consumed on their own without condiments like butter or cream. They’re usually served at weddings and Christmas celebrations.

Pounded yam with Egusi soup
If you’ve had Egusi soup, you’d know it goes very well with pounded yam. This is a very delicious dish that will leave you craving for more after your first try. The bulk of the work for this dish is when you’re pounding the yam. If you don’t want to go through that stress of pounding yam, however, you can use other alternatives like “poundo yam” to get a similar result.
