Thiébou yapp

(Ceebu yapp)

Thiébou yapp is a hearty Senegalese stew made with a combination of rice, meat, and vegetables. It is usually prepared with steamed broken rice, which is added to a meat broth containing browned chunks of beef or lamb, and the concoction is then simmered until fully cooked.


Typical ingredients include onions, garlic, bell peppers, cabbage, eggplants, habanero peppers, mustard, carrots, tomatoes, paprika, vinegar, oil, and chopped parsley. This stew is a variation of the Senegalese national specialty thiébou jen, which uses fish instead of meat.


Rich and fragrant, the dish is typically served on a plate with the rice on the bottom, topped with meat and vegetable chunks. The dish often features olives and hard-boiled eggs as well.
