Couscous Benachin: The Gambian One-Pot Jollof You've Never Tried

A step-by-step guide to making Couscous Benachin (Jollof), a traditional Gambian and Senegalese one-pot dish featuring seasoned beef, vegetables like butternut squash, eggplant, and cabbage, in a spiced tomato-based sauce. The video highlights a key technique: turning off the stove after adding couscous so residual heat creates a perfectly fluffy result. Great for anyone looking to explore West African cuisine beyond the usual rice-based Jollof.
