Tchiep bou yap! 🇸🇳🥹 Senegal’s Jollof rice is honestly TOP TIER! 😭 

Senegal… how did I do!? 

***Requested Recipe***

Thiébou Yap (Senegalese Jolof with meat) 🇸🇳✨

Ingredients
• 2–3 lbs lamb (sometimes I use Goat), washed and cleaned
• 2 white onions, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow/orange bell pepper
• 3 green onions
• Handful of parsley
• 4–6 garlic cloves
• 1 habanero pepper (optional for heat)
• 2–4 Maggi cubes
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 2 cups white rice, washed
• Avocado oil
• 1–2 tbsp Dijon mustard (for onion sauce)
• Tomatoes, sliced (for serving)
• Boiled eggs (for serving)

Directions

1️⃣ In a large pot, heat oil and sauté the onions, parsley, and bell peppers. Add the lamb, Maggi, salt, black pepper, and habanero. Brown the meat well.

2️⃣ Blend the green bell pepper, green onions, garlic, parsley, and a little water. Add to the pot and simmer until the meat is tender and the flavors have combined.

3️⃣ Remove some of the lamb and place under the broiler (or grill) until lightly charred. Reserve some of the sauce for serving.

4️⃣ Add the washed rice to the pot with the remaining sauce. Cover and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the flavor.

5️⃣ For the onion sauce, sauté sliced onions until soft. Add mustard, Maggi, black pepper, and a splash of water. Cook until thick and flavorful.

6️⃣ Serve with rice, grilled lamb, onion sauce, boiled eggs, and fresh tomatoes.

✨ The secret is letting the lamb brown properly and not rushing the onion sauce. That’s where all the flavor lives!

I made this for Easter dinner last night by special request of my brother! 🥰
