Dibi Lamb at African Soulfood Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia by Ruth Paget

Dibi Lamb at African Soulfood Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia by Ruth Paget 

The last time I visited Atlanta (Georgia), I tried dibi lamb from Sénégal, a former French colony in West Africa, at the African Soulfood Restaurant. 

Dibi lamb is delicious and requires very little effort to make according to food.com, which lists a recipe that takes half an hour to make on the grill. 

In this recipe, you make the sauce first from vegetable oil, chopped onion, Dijon (France) mustard with large grains, water, and optional sugar. 

Once the sauce is done, you grill lamb chops 6 – 8 minutes per side for medium chops. When the lamb chops finish cooking, you place them on a serving platter with onion-mustard sauce spooned over it. 

I ate my dibi lamb with spicy rice and thought this was a great little dish to eat in the Georgia heat. 

(Note: Other websites mention that you can make dibi chicken in the same way as well.)
