Waiting for a cook
Guinea-Bissau
Cafriela is chicken marinated in lemon juice, garlic, onion and hot malagueta chillies, stewed in its marinade and then finished on the grill or in the oven, so it is both juicy and charred. The onions cook down in the leftover marinade to make the sauce. It is one of the two or three dishes every Bissau-Guinean names as their own, eaten with rice and sometimes chips, and it is the cousin of Senegal's yassa with a Portuguese grill habit added.
The draft was written from 4 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
