Dibi Organ Tradition

Africa — Senegal

Senegal's most important offal grill tradition. Multiple organs charcoal-grilled and served at dibi stalls — Senegal's ubiquitous open-air grilled-meat vendors.

Cuts in this tradition

Cultural context

Dibi is primarily associated with grilled lamb and beef, but organ meats are commonly incorporated. Liver is the anchor item — fresh liver grilled immediately after Tabaski slaughter is one of Senegal's most culturally embedded offal practices. Structurally comparable to Iran's jigaraki and the Levant's mashawi.

Preparation

Organs grilled over charcoal with onion, black pepper, chili, mustard, and Maggi seasoning. Served with bread, mustard sauce, and sliced onion.
