ESPIG yassa spices are a dry seasoning of onion, garlic, pepper, sweet pepper, ginger, bay leaf and thyme, designed for the marinade of Senegalese chicken yassa. 100 g pouch.
What is yassa?
Yassa, or chicken yassa, is an iconic dish from Senegal and the Casamance region: meat or fish marinated then simmered with a large quantity of onions and lemon juice. This ESPIG pouch, a brand of the CEPASCO group founded in 1876, brings together the marinade spices; the lemon and fresh onions are still to be added by the cook.
How to use it?
Mix the spice with lemon juice, oil and sliced onions to marinate the chicken or fish for at least an hour, ideally several. Then grill or brown the meat, and simmer it in the confit-onion sauce. The same blend also enhances a fish yassa or stewed vegetables.
What to pair it with?
With the Senegalese chicken yassa kit, which brings together the products needed for the recipe, or by following the blog's chicken yassa recipe. The whole Senegalese cuisine range is gathered in one collection. In the same range: ESPIG fish spices.
