Dakhine
Senegalese rice and lamb cooked with peanut paste, cowpeas and yet, using Tabou’s own nokoss.

About Dakhine
Tabou's Senegalese dakhine brings lamb, rice and cowpeas together in a rich peanut sauce. She describes the dish as a familiar choice for family meals and women's tontine gatherings.
Tomato paste and dried, salted yet contribute depth to the pot. Her nokoss combines parsley, coriander, mixed peppers, garlic, shallots, dried herbs and cumin, providing an aromatic base.
The rice finishes in the sauce, giving the dish its moist, substantial texture. A squeeze of lime and a reserved whole chilli accompany the serving, adding sharpness and heat.
