When it comes to a consistent and hearty diet, Senegal is doing it right with diets high in fiber and omega-3s. Legumes, lean meats, fish, beans, and whole grains are important components to Senegalese cuisine.
Senegalese cuisine is made up of an amalgam of influences, from local Wolof culinary traditions to the cuisine of Morocco and cooking of former French colonizers. Many dishes that originated in Senegal have become mainstays throughout West Africa.
Some of the more common dishes in Senegal are:
ceebu jen, a tomatoey fish stew over rice;
yassa, grilled chicken marinated with onions and lemon juice; and
mafé, a meat and peanut stew.
Rice, couscous and French bread are common starches.
Fish is eaten along the long coast. Tomatoes, black-eyed peas, onions and peanuts are used in numerous dishes and stews. Tropical fruit and rich desserts end meals.
