🇸🇳 Senegal recipe
Thiéré
Thiéré is a grand Senegalese celebration dish of hand-rolled millet couscous steamed to airy perfection and served beneath a fragrant lamb and vegetable stew. Unlike North African couscous made from semolina, Senegalese thiéré uses millet, giving it a distinctive nutty flavor and slightly heartier texture. This is the dish that graces tables during Tabaski, naming ceremonies, and other festive occasions across Senegal.
