Bassi Salté

Wikibooks presents Bassi Salté as Senegalese couscous with meat and vegetables. This profile follows permanent revision 4515469, whose actual ingredient list uses instant millet couscous. The page’s revision editor performed a category change; that metadata does not identify an original recipe author or invention date.

The listed ingredients are water, instant millet couscous, vegetable oil, unspecified meat, tomato, onion, tomato paste, salt, cassava, carrot, green chilli, garlic, black pepper, kidney beans and raisins. The meat species is not stated. Other meats, greens or sweeteners have not been added to this exact version.

Boiling water is poured over the instant couscous and it is covered to rest. The meat is fried until golden, then tomato, onion and tomato paste are added, followed by water and the remaining vegetables and seasonings. The sauce is cooked to a consistent thickness. Kidney beans are cooked separately, raisins are stirred into the sauce, and the couscous is fluffed before the three components are served together.

The source highlights sweetness from raisins alongside the meat-and-vegetable sauce, and serves the fluffed couscous with beans and sauce. Before you order, confirm the grain used for the couscous, the meat species and cooking oil, whether beans and raisins are included, and which vegetables, chilli and seasonings the kitchen uses.
