African dish: chicken Yassa

Today I am going to share with you the secrets to cook an African dish. The dish is called " Chicken Yassa". It is orginally from Senegal but a lot of people in Ivory Coast also cook this dish.

• What do you need?



-One chicken cut into serving sized pieces




- 1Kg of onions




- cooking oil




- a few carrots ( optional)




- black pepper




- 4 cloves minced garlic




- Maggi cubes




- Dijon mustard




- 8 tablespoons vinegar




- 8 tablespoons of lime





• What do you need to do?



- Make a marinade with the oil, lemon juice, onions and mustard ( the more onions,the better). Mix all ingredients in the marinade ( except the carrots) and allow to marinate for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.




- Sauté chicken for a few minutes on each side in hot oil in a frypan.




- While chicken is browning: Remove onions from marinade and sauté them in a large saucepan for a few minutes. Add remaining marinade and the optional vegetables and bring to a slow boil and cook at a boil for ten minutes. Cook the marinade into a sauce. Reduce heat.




- Add chicken to the sauce, cover and simmer until chicken is done.
