Ivory Coast
Ivorian cuisine centers on cassava, plantain, and rice, paired with richly spiced sauces built from tomato, peanut, or palm nut. The country's cocoa and coffee production also shapes its broader culinary economy.
Attieke, a fermented cassava couscous, is a beloved staple often served alongside grilled fish or chicken. Kedjenou, a slow-simmered chicken stew, is considered one of the nation's signature dishes.
