Yétissé

Yétissé is a traditional African dish originating from Guinea. This stew is prepared with fish such as tuna, tilapia, or cod, vegetables such as eggplants, carrots, onions, garlic, and cassava, along with tomatoes, tomato paste, stock cubes, palm oil, hot peppers, ginger, okra, and rice. The stew is simmered until the vegetables become tender, and the browned fish is placed into the pot near the end of cooking. Once done, it's served with a combination of crushed okra and white rice. This communal dish is meant to be shared, so it's often served on a large plate with the stew in the middle and the rice all around it. Yétissé can also be prepared with beef or chicken, if desired.
