Directions
Poulet Yassa (Chicken Yassa) from Africa, This traditional chicken dish from the Casamance region of Senegal is one of the most famous African recipes and is found in Senegalese restaurants the world over For best results let the chicken marinate overnight; in Africa, this is essential to tenderize the sometimes tougher African fowl It is also very good when made with fish For the simplest yassa, make the marinade from just oil, lemon juice, onions, and a little mustard , I will agree with the rest of the reviewers and even add that the photo is not yassa poulet, but it is also not ceebu jen It’s ceebu ginaar (rice with chicken) , The recipe described and picture shown is of Thiboudienne not Yassa Poulet Yassa Poulet has caramelized onions and simmered chicken more like a brown chicken stew and is generally served with white rice None of those vegetables
