Senegal’s national food, yassa or chicken yassa is a mouthwatering stew prepared by marinating chicken in vinegar, onion, and lemon.
A longer marination process would result in a soft texture. Besides the chicken, lamb or fish serve as alternate ingredients.
Traditionally yassa was served on beautifully decorated plates and accompanied with fluffy rice. Other accompaniments include fufu and couscous. One can even eat this fabulous platter as a snack alongside green tea or ginger beer.
