- Jollof. While fonio is the traditional starch in some parts of Senegal, the Southern part of the country has a longstanding and influential history of rice cultivation.

If you ever travel to West Africa, this is a must-try. From Senegal, it is so good it has become popular throughout West Africa, and there is no doubt why. Chicken is marinated in mustard and lemon, then slowly grilled for a smoky flavor in a base of caramelized onions, garlic and chilis. You can also find Yassa made with fish, and the results are ...

One of the national dishes of Cameroon, ndole is a beautiful blend of bitter leaf greens, spices, a lot of oil and protein through groundnuts, as well as the optional addition of meat or fish. A rich and calorie-dense dish, it is always found at parties and festivities in Cameroon. Oh Ndole!
From the Ivory Coast, Kedjenou is a deliciously spicy meat and vegetable stew often made with guinea fowl or chicken. Slow-cooked in a sealed clay pot with little or no liquid, the resulting dish is juicy, flavorful and tender. It is surprisingly easy to make, and well worth the wait! Served with attieke, a side made from ground cassava with a text...
There are (sometimes heated) debates about the origins of jollof, but it is generally known as a Nigerian creation, with variations around Western Africa. To say it is a simple tomato rice dish is to undersell this delicious one pot wonder. With a range of delicious spices, vegetables and even meat if you wish, this dish can rival any other tomato ...

The cassava is pounded into flour, then mixed with water and cooked over heat into a paste of varying textures depending on the meal you are serving it with or your preference. You can find versions of fufu all over Africa, of course with the ensuing arguments about whose ...
A popular street food, alloco, as it is called in the Ivory Coast, is very simply fried plantains. But serve it with a meal and it becomes a tasty side with a deliciously spicy chili sauce that brings all the flavors on the plate to life.

Meaning ‘sauce’ in the Fula language, this delicious dish is hugely popular across West Africa with regional variations of course, but always containing a tasty peanut sauce (Peanut allergies? Sorry!) and some kind of meat, although it can also be made vegan. With layers of rich flavors from tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, herbs, vegetables, chil...
Variations of this delicious soup can be found all over West Africa, but it is hugely popular in Nigeria. What makes it unique is the use of protein- and fat-rich melon seeds (egusi) from specific plants, which are then dried and ground up and used as a thickener. Besides the seeds, water and oil, egusi soup typically contains leafy greens such as ...
Indigenous to West Africa, okra can be found in a wide variety of dishes. This underestimated and misjudged mallow plant packs antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber into its gooey little body. Mixed with meat and fish and/or seafood and then with beans, vegetables and spices, this is a satisfying dish regardless of your feelings about okra.
