Yassa Spice Blend – The Soul of Senegalese Cuisine
A Journey Through the Flavors of West Africa
The Yassa Spice Blend by Sambavanilla is a tribute to the rich culinary heritage of West Africa. Inspired by the traditional dish from Casamance in southern Senegal, this iconic blend allows you to recreate the bold, tangy, and savory notes of classic Poulet Yassa or Fish Yassa at home. A cornerstone of Senegalese gastronomy, Yassa is known for its vibrant marinade of onions, lemon, chili, ginger, and aromatic herbs.
Our blend perfectly captures this signature flavor profile: bright citrus freshness, the warmth of ginger, sweet notes of caramelized onion, and the earthy depth of cumin and herbs like thyme and bay leaf. It’s ideal for marinating poultry, fish, vegetables, or tofu, whether in slow-cooked dishes or grilled recipes.
