About Afra

Longacre presents afra, also called dibi in her account, as West African grilled street food associated with The Gambia and neighbouring Guinea-Bissau and Guinea. This named rendition selects lamb with onion-mustard sauce.

Grainy French mustard and softened, lightly browned onion shape the sauce. Salt and black pepper season the meat and sauce, with sugar available as an optional adjustment.

The sauce is spooned over the grilled lamb and a French baguette accompanies it. The publisher also mentions optional dipping mustard, retaining a separate tangy accompaniment alongside the sauced meat.
