Ragout d'igname is a yam and beef stew that is popular in most West African countries, especially in Burkina Faso. The key ingredients used in the dish are yams, beef, garlic, ginger, onions, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes. This casserole-like dish is typically seasoned only with salt and pepper, and when the yam is soft and the sauce thickens, ragout d'igname is ready to be consumed, preferably piping hot.
