🇸🇳 Senegal recipe
Fataya
Fataya are beloved Senegalese fried pastries with a golden, slightly chewy shell and a savory filling of spiced ground beef and onions. Simpler and more rustic than pastels, fataya are a popular breakfast or snack food found at street stalls across the country. The dough is slightly thicker than pastel dough, giving it a satisfying chew, while the filling is warmly spiced and deeply seasoned.
