    As a Senegalese living abroad, Yassa is my go to dish when I want to impress non-senegalese friends. It is sooooo easy to make and everyone has the same reaction as mark's tasting it, it's always so satisfying to see as cooking is my love language!
    I don't do my Yassa exactly like this, I prefer the "healthier" option of roasted chicken rather than fried.
    I normally put in the mustard as I fry the onions but I'll definitely add it later on from now on, the texture and color looks so much better.
    And baobab juice is everything, and yes it's pure vitamin C, and has so much health benefits 💕
    This video is awesome and made me nostalgic of my home country, can't wait to go back!

    Such wonderful Yassa! I love Senegalese food:
    5:21 "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim (The prayer in Islam to behing any task, which is said in Arabic: "in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful".) Senegal is a predominantly Muslim country, and Islam has a big effect on their culture, food, and mentality too. Most of West Africa is Muslim, except the southern 1/3 of Nigeria, the southern 1/2 of Ghana, and some of the other southern halves of the coastal states between there and Liberia. Its one of those places people don't seem to associate with Islam in the West or Far East, but its very much part of the Muslim World.

    This is a northern Senegal Yassa recipe. This recipe originates from Southern Senegal. You marinate the chicken overnight with 2 lemons and 1 or 2 of the peppers that Mark likes so much (cut into pieces and seeds taken out). One does not add mustard or vinegar but more lemon juice from two more limes. Total for a chicken yassa, you need 4 limes or lemons. The rest of the cooking is about the same way they do it in southern Senegal, except that to my knowledge there are no baobab fruits added to the sauce or in eating.
