DAKAR CURRY FONIO PILAF: Ancient West African Grain

DAKAR CURRY FONIO PILAF: Ancient West African Grain

$6.99

"The Market" Curry + Currants

Dakar, the capital of Senegal, is a multicultural crossroads that has always welcomed immigrants and adopted culinary traditions and ingredients from afar. That includes curry! The Senegalese take is mild with an emphasis on warm turmeric, and our Dakar Curry Fonio Pilaf is punctuated with sweet currants.

Grown and revered across West Africa for over 5,000 years, fonio is gluten-free, nutritionally dense, rich in important minerals and amino acids, and has a low glycemic index. Fonio is a gluten-free, quick cooking, versatile grain that has been grown and revered across West Africa for over 5,000 years.

The grain is tiny when raw but expands over 4x when cooked. this pilaf is light and fluffy and is especially good with grilled fish or chicken, with salads and vegetables, or in a veggie burger.

ABOUT YOLÉLÉ

Yolélé was founded in 2017 to create economic opportunity for smallholder farming communities; to support biodiverse, regenerative, and resilient food systems; and to share Africa’s ingredients and cuisines with the world.

Yolélé is changing conditions for rural West African smallholder farmers. This population is among the world’s most vulnerable. Simply buying more of West Africa’s oldest cereal grain helps to alleviate extreme poverty, but they go a step further to truly transform communities in the West African Sahel.

They are connecting smallholder farmers—mainly women—with local and global markets so they can support themselves from agriculture while increasing food sovereignty in the region. They are also creating a market for traditional crops grown under these resilient farming systems to foster a more biodiverse, drought-tolerant landscape across West Africa. Devoting more land to this kind of farming has the potential to regenerate and re-green the Sahel.

CURATOR'S NOTE: 

 

Yolélé is a Fulani term of exuberance used in West and Central Africa. It roughly translates to “Let the Good Times Roll” (or, like in New Orleans, “Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!”). People shout out “Yolélé!” to get parties started and people dancing.

The Fulani people are the world’s largest nomadic group, living across government-drawn country lines. Like the Fulani, Yolélé aspires to transcend borders, bringing African culture to all.

 

Here are some ideas to try:

  • Roasted Butternut Squash and Dakar Fonio Pilaf
  • Honey Glazed Chicken with Dakar Fonio Pilaf
  • Dakar Fonio, Chickpea, and Wilted Greens Stew
