Senegal

Senegal map

Senegalese cuisine is celebrated across West Africa, built around rice, fish, and richly spiced peanut and tomato sauces. The country's Atlantic coastline provides abundant fresh seafood.

Thieboudienne, fish and rice cooked together with vegetables, is widely regarded as Senegal's national dish. Yassa, chicken or fish marinated in onion and lemon, is another beloved staple.
