Ceebu jen (Wolof, pronounced chebodjin; ceeb means rice and jen means fish) is really good, but poulet yassa is my favorite! I've been a vegetarian for about 3 years, but I ate anything NDeye served. Even if you could avoid being flicked some meat - which is impossible - everything is cooked together at some point, so there's no being a strict anything there. And it's just so darn good!
Carrots, onions, yiambe (I have no idea how to spell that - it's some sort of root vegetable of potato-like consistency), cabbage, chicken, rice (malo in Serer), peppers...NDeye definitely has a gift for cooking, part of her gift of hospitality.
This poulet yassa doesn't look as good as NDeye's, but the comment section say it tastes like the real thing. I can't wait to try it out!! And whoever eats it will eat it African style - off a large platter, sharing spoons and cups, and standing around the table :)
