Senegalese cuisine

Senegalese cuisine is a West African cuisine influenced by the country's ethnic groups, including the Wolof, Fula and Serer. Fish is important because Senegal borders the Atlantic Ocean. Common ingredients include chicken, lamb, beef, peanuts, millet, rice, sweet potatoes, cassava and black-eyed peas. Foods are often stewed or marinated with herbs and spices, then served with rice, millet couscous or bread. Fresh juices and ritualistically served attaya tea are also part of the cuisine.
