SAINT LOUIS, SENEGAL - Today we’re cooking and eating one of the most popular Senegalese foods, known as poulet yassa, or just yassa. It’s a dish of, in this case chicken, with onions and mustard sauce. You’ll find it all over Senegal and all over the world now, but originally from Senegal. It’s an amazing dish, so simple, and yet so tasty. We’re going to see the entire cooking process, and then be able to eat another amazing meal in Senegal, West Africa!
Thank you to Diana for hosting us at her amazing restaurant in old town of Saint Louis. We started with a whole local chicken, cut down and then fried in oil. The chicken was then combined with a huge bucket of onions, mustard, and a bunch of seasoning and and spices and served with rice. Again, poulet yassa is a dish that you’ll find throughout Senegal, it’s one of the most common dishes. I think it’s easy to make and it’s a food that everyone - young and old and enjoy. I was surprised at how tasty it is!
From Saint Louis we continued on this food tour to the amazing sand dunes of the Lompoul Desert of Senegal. The dunes were beautiful, we rode camels and then we ended with a local couscous dinner at the Lompoul Ecolodge. Dinner was delicious, and the local drumming was incredible - a great way to end the evening.
And that completes another delicious day, eating Senegalese food in West Africa!
Thank you to Pape Tatandiaye (Visit Senegal / papetatandiaye )

Love from Bangladesh. Senegal was the first African country to recognize Bangladesh following its independence in 1971.
The people of senegal are really polite and hospitable. I hope in someday i will visit this beautiful country.
Insh’allah
I love how kind and respectful Mark is to other cultures. If everyone was a little more like Mark, maybe the world would be a better place.
Sure and his hosts tend to love him too
Why shouldn’t he be kind thoughtful? That’s perfectly normal behavior when you’re in someone’s territory? He’s not special 🙃
@@Nell654
If it was perfectly normal behavior the world wouldn't be as aggressive as it is.
I second that motion!!!
I agree 💯
I'm Nigerian but no matter where I am in the world I look for Senegalese restaurant s. Thieboudienne is one of the best things I've eaten in my life
Of course it's the better version of jollof rice hehehehe
Love to hear it 😊
I agree. I am Nigerian a,so and I cook the food often.
Love naïja People
Love naïja food and culture
Love yoruba and igbo 💕💕🤩🤩
Love jolof rice
@@pierrendiaye5815 🤗❤❤
The cook has a very charming n friendly smile. Will try this dish. A big salute from India 🇮🇳
She is so beautiful
@@beverlyelohor7457 agree.
*Yes she does, very beautiful...The food looks so delicious*
@@yepisaidit7722 yes it is really good
The woman has such a kind smile while she makes that chicken and onion dish. What a lovely lady!
Diana has such a genuine good spirit that just radiates from her. She is also very beautiful, and I can't help but envy her beautiful skin.
Yeah so beautiful 😍
You can tell Pape has become comfortable in front of the camera. He’s probably my favorite food guide Mark has ever had at this point. Kind, knowledgeable and doesn’t try to steal the show or be pompous.
Very true that.. I concur
Yes I agree 😊
Very true ❤
Pape is the best guide 😅😅 I love this ❤
The white man that love papers
What a beautiful woman. Thank you for letting the world into your kitchen and sharing this awesome dish. Big love from Northern California.
Diana? Yep, she is warm and genuine. Also, she is Muslim.
@@rianamohamed300 you know her? she's wearing traditional Senegalese booboo and headwrap (it's not a hijab)
@@rianamohamed300 Bonus.
What is that Bailbab fruit? Hiw do you spell it? I want to research it....sounds goid!
@@lindawalker793 Baobab tree. It's a huge majestic tree and I believe there are 8 different species in the world. 6 species native to Madagascar, 1 to mainland Africa, Arabia and Asia,1 native to Australia. It's a symbol of Senegal and it is on the country's coat of arms. Hopefully I helped.
PS: 1 glass of baobab juice contains 4 times the vitamin C in 1 glass of Orange juice. It's used for everything!
Im from senegal i love the way our women always say Bismillah( in the name of God) before putting the first item..in the pot...the food is blessed and tastes good..thank you Mark
Yes😍
I bet u are not living in Senegal
@@Oliqinco Why are you hating here in the comments. It doesn’t matter, if he’s living in Senegal or not. If not, everyone who leaves his country has a reason. So let the people live wherever they choose to.
@@Oliqinco your point being?
الحمد لله على نعمة الاسلام
اكيد اي شي يبدا فيه الانسان بسم الله

Seeing Diana cook the chicken yassa made me feel so relaxed, something about that woman’s demeanor emanated warmth, kindness and joy.
That’s what we call “jongé” !!
It describes a feminine erotic energy almost like a feline but in a calming and elegant way !
@@akkane7 Ah, ok, never heard that term before, but whatever she's got sure worked it's magic on me
I love it when she starts everything with BISMILLAH.MashaAllah sister
MashAllah
I said the same thing.
I’m a Senegalese and that’s how it should be as Muslim when starting something
@@assankuta2935 alhamdulillah!!
Pape is the best guide so respectful and just calm and collective and makes sure to make sure that mark and his family are comfortable
Pape is so caring and can see that he takes great care of you and your family. Mark Weins . Please give Pape my best wishes. May He Be Blessed with Good Health Wealth and Happiness. Aamiin
The Senegal series is for me the best
And I like how you’re so open to the Senegalese culture thanks mark ❤️
RIGHT IM LOVING THE SENEGAL SERIES! SO CAPTIVATING!
yeah I'm amazed.
Me too
Collect... very instructive as well.
She is such a beautiful woman, her smile is captivating. You had me at Onion 😍😍
Glad you noticed...
Lovely lady. And Muslim too.
@@rianamohamed300 In senegal 95% of the population are muslims. about 4 % are christians
Mark, your Senegal series opens a world of simplicity, respect and grace. A very simple yet deep look into the Senegalese culture and cuisine, The juice of the revered Baobab tree is loaded with health benefits, but also spiritual significance. Watching your videos reminds us how connected the world really is.
@@ilovecracklins6397 well we both individually came to the same conclusion what does that tell you? Your thinking is on the right track lol this is INDEED the case brother Love-Cracklins
That was Rafikis tree in the Lion King
@@DM-uz9pw no freaking shrit
@@baplotnik & the tree of souls in avatar. It had a spiritual significance in these movies & in real life to Africans 🤦🏾♂️
Vraiment. Tu as raison mon frère
I'm a Liberian but my love for Senegal is beyond understanding.
Youre welcome
We love our Liberian brothers too..many of them found a home in Dakar back in the troubled days . one love🇱🇷
I'm Liberian🇱🇷 and Senegambian 🇬🇲🇸🇳. Love it!
@@healthymdy9611 thanks 😊
We love you too ❤️❤️
She’s so great at cooking, the onions don’t bother her at all. Most people get there eyes burning and watering with them.
I had a friend from Senegal they are some of the kindest people I ever talked to.
I love open-minded people who are willing to discover other people's cultures and costumes instead of judging people constantly and wrongly just because they're different from them ( like french people tend to do in France ) !!
Mark, you are one of those lovely open-minded people. thanks a lot for visiting our beautiful country you will always be welcome among us my brother!
Because of Mark, I'm in love with Senegalese food. I have a friend from Senegal here in the US, I might be visiting her more often now 😅
🤣🤣
Compliments to Mark Wiens parents...They produced a perfect child of the world..Simply one of the best 👌 so far....Easily blends wherever he goes...Hello Micah and his momma..God bless Senegal and it's people..God bless the universe 🙏.
I’m Nigerian but from the north (predominantly Muslim part) so culturally we have more in common with the Senegalese than the rest of Nigeria in terms of language, dress and cuisine.. really hope to visit one day
Edit:
Nuts how big his son has grown! I started watching this channel when he was tiny!!
You’ll be welcomed here brocher😊
Impossible to hate everything Mark is doing. You understand the real meaning of life so well.
Love how respectful Mark is of everyone’s culture ❤🇯🇲
Adorable how you're still in Senegal. Beautiful friendly country. Birthplace of JOLLOF rice.
Yep. They showed jollof in a previous episode.
I am Senegalese and live in France i made this dish all the time , one of my coworkers favorite 😍 , so happy you're showing my country culture and the food, and now thank you mama for learning me how to make all these dishes, you have shown in your videos 🥰🥰
I want to try and make it. I know it won't be authentic. But would juice from yellow lemons work? Would I mix it with lime as well?
@@amma2x310 You can add some lemon juice but not too much , I use to do it but it caused me some stomach burns ,that's why I stopped putting it in my "Yassa" .
Basically, we have 2 dishes which are similar made with onions: " Yassa " and "Kaldou" : the first one is made with chicken or meat , with onions and potatoes and the second one made with Fish , onions , some mixed tomatoes (you adds to the onions) lemon for the taste 😀 , and some other things you add to the onions (the seasoning)
Sorry for the long response, 😅 I love cooking hope it helps :)
@@tigreblanc7732 i agree yassa isnot supposed to be too sour/foroh considering lime is acidic but i love eating yassa and kaldou (with bisap) in all their forms i love your conversatiins aswell. I am british but my mum is gambian and her father was a senegalese fisherman from yoff my nan made all those meals for me i been to dakar once to watch senegal vs gambia live football and had the best thieboujenne ever in my existence
@@tigreblanc7732 thank you I will try it. The fsh one also. I love cooking too!
@@amma2x310 you can use either lime or lemon but lime is preferred. Use a little bit of it in the onion sauce while its cooking and Save the rest until its time to eat and squeeze at your liking.. no sour taste🙂 Yassa is easier to make than you would think (its all in its seasoning) you got it!
Giant hello to all my senegalese sisters and thank you Mark for show casing our wonderful country and people🌹
Never knew Senegal has such nice dishes.... Really enjoying
I can invite you in senegal if you want it’ll be a pleasure☺️🤝i live in Dakar and i’ m from Ndare

When I thought of visiting West Africa, I only thought of Nigeria and Ghana I always forgot about Senegal. Now I will add this country to my list. Mark these videos are really amazing. Thank you for showing beauty and community all over the world.
Ivory Coast, Benin and I would have also add Mali if it was not because of the political instability there, are all must visit countries in West Africa 😉
Senegal and Gambia are much cheaper to visit than Nigeria and Ghana
Ivory Coast is a must visit . A hidden gem in Africa
Would love to show you around Ghana when you visit😊
@@nanakwamebaah530 That would be great. Looking to visit in the summer of 2023.
Love to senegal🇸🇳 from India🇮🇳
Senegal 🇸🇳 to the World ❤🎉
senegal best food
What type of mustard did Diana use?
@@sajid6027 She said hot mustard. Mark concluded Dijon mustard.
@@bettymwangi4092 as an ex French colony I'm assuming French mustard?
🙏🏽❤️
Every time I watch Mark, I am remembered of how much better the world would be if people could be just half, just half of Mark is. Amazing human being.
It's crazy how there recipes are so simple at the same time they taste so extraordinary
I’m telling you and you have also the chicken grilled with charcoal version amazing taste
maShaAllah you know the food is gonna be good when Allah is mentioned while cooking!! ma Sha Allah sister
MashAllah. SubhanAllah.
Senegal people can cook they have talent in cooking yummy 😋😋 food I love it
We sure do and thanks 🙏🏾
ياعمري مسلمة كل ماسوت شي سمت🥺🤍🤍الله يرزقها ويوسع عليها وعلى المسلمين
Amine yarabi ❤❤
Goana is soooo hot! Senegalese people just squeeze a little juice out of it. The way Mark just chew it like a piece cake is incredible 😮😂 Thank you Mark, we love the Senegalese series ❤
Is it the same as the habanero pepper ?
@@jazminrodriguez8536 I think it’s a scotch bonnet pepper
@@jazminrodriguez8536 it looks like habanero
Senegalese living abroad!
Watching these videos fills my my heart with so much joy and happiness!
Keep it up!
Next food to try has to be the Mafé Dish!
🇸🇳🇸🇳🙏🏾🙏🏾💝
Same here, brother!!!
I love Senegal🇸🇳😍🇧🇷
Live there then
These Senegalese meals are special. all the dishes I've seen are so amazing
Mashallah. I have been following Mark for years now . To see him in my country make me so happy. May Allah continues to bless you and your family. A very humble man, respectful,... polite 👍
Pape vraiment merci pour cette rencontre avec Mark. Qu'Allah vous accompagne. Senegal sa kaname!

Such a lovely woman. And I am loving Senegal and its nice people and off course ONIONS!
Diana. Lovely lady.
Micah is such a beautiful boy! These experiences will help him to be such a well rounded person! Good job Mark and Ying!🥰
Mark never disappoint us to be honest absolutely down to earth trustworthy guy love from gambia 🇬🇲 our neighbours have a incredible food once you taste Senegalese food thier is no going back mark
Initially Mark came for just a couple of days after trying the food , we all see what happened
Mboka nakam ? 👍🏾🙏🏽❤️
@@fatimacorrea7850 mangi cool yow nk
@@fatimacorrea7850 lol guys if you translate to English they aren’t my country they are saying how are you 😂
"O Wow"! This is Mark's typical expression whenever he tasted something and the taste goes straight into his heart! I am saying this as well because Pape's hospitality and guidance are really as great as Senegal itself! I am food lover too and wish that I could shoot some great shots of amazing Senegalese Food one day.
Love you loads Senegal ... Love from Pakistan! "O Wow"!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
You'll be welcome to my country... Btw Pakistan Zindabad ✌🏾
@@seynisidibe1327 💖
😅
As a Senegalese living abroad, Yassa is my go to dish when I want to impress non-senegalese friends. It is sooooo easy to make and everyone has the same reaction as mark's tasting it, it's always so satisfying to see as cooking is my love language!
I don't do my Yassa exactly like this, I prefer the "healthier" option of roasted chicken rather than fried.
I normally put in the mustard as I fry the onions but I'll definitely add it later on from now on, the texture and color looks so much better.
And baobab juice is everything, and yes it's pure vitamin C, and has so much health benefits 💕
This video is awesome and made me nostalgic of my home country, can't wait to go back!
This man has so much respect for other ppl culture.
As everyone should. Be a respectable visitor.
Completely agree he’s awesome
THIS Senegal dish is the best ❤ West African dish I've ever had sooooo delicious I've even tried to make it in my home❤
Well then you gotta go to senegal then i guess.
@@md2v4 Jedi Master I've been already❤😁❤
Where are you from Bebe?
What I like about mark is that he doesn’t take one bite and say wow delicious. He really gets in there and explores the whole dish.😂
lek d meune nako🤣
Mark thank you for showcasing these wonderful dishes but most of all when I watch your videos I get hope seeing the hospitality you receive from so many beautiful people and cultures….
Baobab fruit is also native to the state of Kordofan in Sudan and it is one of my favorite wild fruits growing up and up until now.
Much love from Sudan to Mark Weins and to my brothers in Sengal!!!
The way mark ate the guana never cease to amaze me 😅. Welcome to Saint-Luis Senegal land of hospitality ⚫
Love you Diana for wonderful smily Senegalese Special dish cooking with heart and serving so yummy
Love Bismillah in every step , love Diana ❤
I can't wait to travel to Africa. It's very sad that I don't know where in Africa I'm from, but just to know that I am from the continent, and the many different people, cultures and foods are making me feel like running to a DNA test!! I hope to be a little Senegalese 😂
You are welcome my. Dear
I can adopt you in my family. We are From Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲 Central Africa, living in Germany and you will be welcome in your homeland.
We are sorry for the role some of our ancestors played helping the white people to deport you. Very sorry.
But for now on, You will have a family to come back to.
@manifestedDestiny- Yes, you are welcome back home.
Don't be sad. Come to West Africa you will definitely love it. I'm from Mauritania which is next to Senegal and Mali we have common dishes and culture.
Try African Ancestry it traces you all the way to your exact tribe
I live in Columbus Ohio, but I am originally from Senegal. There is a Senegalese restaurant about 10 minutes away from me and every Saturday they make yassa lol I’m planning on having some today for sure!! Oh and by the way, I’m a new subscriber here. Love this channel.
What's the name of the restaurant? I live in Columus too.
@@wallo1024 the restaurant is called chez rama, and it is located on E. Livingston Ave. Check them out
@@wallo1024 it’s a few of them you can try googling: chez Rama restaurant on Livingston Ave on the east side, Senetaste on Brice rd, Dabakh on morse rd on the north side just to name a few; I hope this helps
I am a Columbus native! I will definitely have to check it out next time I’m visiting home!
@@chloeleau you would absolutely love it.
Yes I agree with the previous person, Mark is a very respectable and humble person-he should be an ambassador to the countries! If everyone was like all of these people the world would be a better place. Let’s not forget the food it all looks amazing!
the woman is so beautiful and i love how she cut a whole bucket of onions in her hand. that chicken looks amazing

Mark, thank you for taking us to Senegal ❤❤
I'm taking a trip to Senegal 🇸🇳! Thanks Mark, it looks amazing
I love how she constantly invokes the name of God before she does anything. “Bismillahi rahmani rahiim” or “in the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful”
Yassa chicken beautifully presented, CNN should hire this guy to take over for Anthony Bourdain. Love this!
Africa is so diverse with its meals I’ve never seen this recipe before!
God has blessed everyone to have their own path and calling. Mark its so amazing to see you travel the world for the love of good food. Being able to feature these individuals each time is a blessing in their life. Thank you for this!
Absolutely love how she says bismila Rahmaan Raahim before starting anything ❤

Lookt this African queen! How she's beautiful! Her smile Lightning my day and i'm pretty sure her Yassa Poulet meal is tasty, the way i'm seeing matk enjoying the meal prove it to me! 😋
Mark, you have eaten so many different dishes from so many cultures at the end of each year you should do a top 15 video of your favourite dishes of the year so we too can try them.
Totally agree. 😊
Micah has the coolest childhood.

Such wonderful Yassa! I love Senegalese food:
5:21 "Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim (The prayer in Islam to behing any task, which is said in Arabic: "in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful".) Senegal is a predominantly Muslim country, and Islam has a big effect on their culture, food, and mentality too. Most of West Africa is Muslim, except the southern 1/3 of Nigeria, the southern 1/2 of Ghana, and some of the other southern halves of the coastal states between there and Liberia. Its one of those places people don't seem to associate with Islam in the West or Far East, but its very much part of the Muslim World.
I wanna come home…watch the beautiful and in peace my ancestors are - especially preparing food for …
Chicken Yassar I love crunchy onions and well cooked garlic
Now 😮😊I understand why I always add mustard to all my meat 😊it’s an ancestor thing❤
Yeah sister it runs in the blood 😊❤
I love how you are so open to other cultures and their food by always willing to try everything Mark! Would love to see you back in Vietnam! 😁
would love to hear Micah's comments now. he has become very vocal and confident little kid. you are exploring places which might seem a bit intimidating to many just because of media, but im glad we get to see the good part of these countries and their cultures and cuisine. you are helping us put more countries on our bucket list.
I love Senegal… rich culture
Hi Sir Mark. I am a silent viewer frm the Philippines. I really enjoy watching your videos. I enjoy the Senegal series. All foods are mouthwatering.♥️ Keep safe AND God bless you. 😊
Im senegalese and my wife from philippines davao lol she knows how to cook Chicken yassa and our national dishes *thieboudieun* djollof rice, she’s so smart whn she cooked th food, i can’t believe that day she did that after long day at work 😂
Madali lang lutuin
I hope people of Senegal realize that they are blessed with their country. Do take care of your own country.
I am thankful and prayerful that Mark's son has grown. He is the same age as my grandson. God bless your family and all your gastronomical travels.
Lots of love from Los Angeles California 🇺🇲

I love everything about Senegal through mark series ♥️
She is so Beautiful and the accent is just it!!!
I love yassa chicken! It's a favorite of mine. The first time I ate yassa was in Philadelphia and my first time at a Senegal restaurant and the food was amazing. Cabbage, and blackeye peas fritters. I never had those fritters again. I want to find them or make them.
She is soo pretty. I am loving this series showcasing part of my continent's food culture.
