Welcome to Guinea! The Guinea flag and the Mali flag are often confused: they are the same colors, but in reverse order! It is one of the least-developed countries in the world, despite having many, many natural resources. It is one of four countries in the world that doesn't have fixed telephone lines.

Poulet Yassa!
This seems to be a popular dish in the region, as two other countries (Guinea-Bissau and DR Congo) also have this as their national dish. It is a dish made of chicken, veggies, and rice. It was a very simple meal, and it smelled GOOD while it was cooking! Here's what I did:
- 1. Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
- 2. In a large cooking pot, mix the onions, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, bay leaf, mustard, vinegar and chilies.
- 3. Now add the chicken pieces, mix all together and marinate overnight.
- 4. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and grill until cooked through.
- 5. After the chicken is done cooking, remove the onions from the marinade and sauté gently in a little oil until soft and brown.
- 6. Add the marinade to the onions and cook for five minutes.
- 7. To this, add the chicken pieces and chicken broth to cover everything.
- 8. Cover with lid and simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
- 9. Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10. Serve with white rice.
