  2. SENAGAL YASA

    1 tsp. pepper

    5 little tomatoes, mashed

    3 tbsp. tomato paste

    4 garlic cloves, cut into slices

    1 kilo of onions

    2 tbsp. vinegar

    2 to 3 bouillon cubes

    2 lbs. of meat, chicken or beef

    Cabbage, cut into wedges

    Potatoes, cut into 1/4 cubes (and peel)

    Squash, peeled & cut into 1/8 pieces

    (A Dutch oven is a good pot to use.) Cut onions in slices and separate slices to make rings. Sprinkle salt and vinegar over onion rings and set aside to marinade. In oil fry meat, adding salt for flavoring. When meat is browned, add mashed tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic and 1/4 cup water to meat pot. Let it all cook for about 5 minutes (medium high heat). Add 2 1/2 cups water bouillon cubes and let boil until meat is done. After meat is done remove from pot and add vegetables (except for the onions). Cook vegetables to a crispy doneness (a whole red-hot pepper is usually cooked in the pot, but be careful not to let it break or open.)

    Take out all vegetables, cook sauce until it is semi thick, (I sometimes add water). It should be the consistency of stew juice. Add onions, but no vinegar juice, cook until onions are crispy done; add meat and vegetables. Heat and serve over cooked rice. Enjoy!

  3. CHICKEN YASSA

    Juice of 3 lemons

    3 large onions, sliced

    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

    1 (or more) hot red Guinea pepper-type chile, cut into small pieces

    5 tablespoons peanut oil

    One 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into pieces

    1/2 cup water

    Preparation

    Prepare a marinade of the lemon juice, onions, salt, pepper, chile, and 4 tablespoons of the peanut oil. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade, be sure they are well coated, and marinate them for at least 2 hours. Preheat the broiler to the highest setting. Remove the chicken pieces and reserve the marinade. Place the chicken pieces on the broiler rack and grill them briefly until they are lightly browned on both sides. Remove the onions from the marinade and sauté them in the remaining oil. Cook them slowly until tender, then add the reserved marinade. When the liquid is thoroughly heated, add the chicken pieces. Add the water and simmer the Yassa over low heat for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Serve hot, over white rice.

    This Yassa recipe can also be made with fish substituted for the chicken.
