Bakary

Bakary is a traditional West African dish, particularly popular in Senegal and Gambia. It is a savory dish made from rice, fish, and vegetables, often including tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The dish is typically prepared by cooking the rice separately and then combining it with a fish stew made from a variety of fish species such as tilapia, catfish, or mackerel. The vegetables are sautéed and added to the stew, which is then simmered until the flavors meld together. Bakary is often served with a side of fried plantains or boiled eggs, and it is a staple in West African cuisine, known for its rich flavors and simplicity. The dish is usually prepared in large quantities and shared among family and friends, making it a communal meal that brings people together. Bakary is not only a culinary delight but also a reflection of the cultural heritage and communal spirit of West African societies.
