🇸🇳 Senegal recipe

Dibi

Dibi is the irresistible Senegalese grilled lamb that fills the evening air of every neighborhood with its intoxicating smoky aroma. Thin slices of lamb are marinated in a bold mixture of mustard, lemon, garlic, and onion, then grilled over blazing charcoal until beautifully charred on the outside and juicy within. Served on newspaper or brown paper with a fiery onion and mustard dipping sauce, Dibi is Senegal's ultimate night-time street food.
