Best west African Food π₯
In Gambia, benachin means βone pot,β a name referringΒ to the way of cooking a single pot over a roaring fire in days of yore.
The word comes from the language of the Wolof (also known as Jollof) people β the third largest ethnic group in Gambia and the most populous in neighboring Senegal. The history of the Wolof people goes back many centuries, but it reached a two-hundred-year climax from the middle of the 14th century onwards when the Wolof Empire ruled over large swathes of coastal area now part of Senegal and just above Gambia.
