My object is YASSA. It is from Senegal and my mom makes it here in the USA. Yassa is a spicy dish prepared with onions and either marinated poultry, marinated fish or marinated lamb originally from Senegal. Yassa has become popular throughout west africa. Chicken Yassa,prepared with onions, lemon or mustard, is a specialty from the Casamance region in the south of Senegal. And it smells good when my mom cooked it last time. It was good to me because that’s my favorite food.
