Burkinabe cuisine
Burkinabe cuisine refers to the traditional cooking and food practices of Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in West Africa. The cuisine is heavily based on staple foods like sorghum, millet, corn, peanuts, potatoes, beans, yams and okra.
Overview[edit]

Common Dishes[edit]
One of the most popular dishes in Burkinabe cuisine is Riz Gras, a rich, hearty rice dish often served with a sauce and vegetables. Another common dish is Tô, a type of jelly-like corn or millet dough that is eaten with sauces made from leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, or peanuts.
