Benachin and the One-Pot Table

Recipe20 min BanjulWolof

The dish that gave jollof its first name.

Benachin means one pot. Rice, fish or meat and vegetables cook in the same base, which is the argument for its flavour and the reason it feeds a compound.

The cook works from Albert Market that morning; the recording includes the negotiation over the fish.
