View ProfileCraving some culinary creativity? Chicken Yassa is a traditional Senegalese dish… that Chef Pierre has turned into tacos! He marinates juicy chicken thighs in a flavorful mix of mustard and spices like cumin and chili powder, then grills to tender perfection and stuffs into soft, warm white-corn tortillas. Each taco is topped with his signature sweet-and-spicy slow-cooked Yassa caramelized onion sauce and Rof sauce, a bright, zesty blend of fresh parsley, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Crisp, refreshing mango and cabbage slaw provides a sweet counterpoint to this deliciously cross-cultural meal.
