Treść dostępna tylko w języku angielskim

Kedjenou is a spicy stew that is slow-cooked in a sealed canari over fire or coals and prepared with chicken or guinea hen and vegetables. It is a traditional and popular dish of the cuisine of Côte d'Ivoire.

Preparation methods for the stew vary. Sometimes little or no added liquid is used in its preparation, allowing the meat to cook in its own juices, which tenderizes the meat and concentrates the flavors of the ingredients. Sometimes the dish is cooked in a wrapped and sealed banana leaf that is placed under hot coals. In Côte d'Ivoire the dish is traditionally served with Attiéké, a side dish made with grated cassava.
