Waiting for a cook

Yétissé

Guinea · Basse Guinée (the coast and Conakry)

What we know so far

Yétissé is a coastal Guinean stew of fish (or beef) with cassava, carrot and aubergine in a red palm-oil and tomato sauce, sharpened with a paste of pounded aubergine, ginger and garlic, and served with rice that has boiled okra mashed through it. The okra rice is what marks it out from other West African fish stews. It is a dish for the whole table: rice around the edge of one big platter, sauce and fish in the middle, everyone with a spoon.
