📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Riz gras means 'fatty rice' in French, a one-pot rice made for celebrations in Mali, Burkina Faso, and elsewhere in West Africa. Meat, onion, and tomato are stewed into a flavorful broth, and the rice is cooked in it. It's made in huge pots for weddings, baptisms, and Eid.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a wedding day in Mali, orange rice is scooped from a big pot in the courtyard onto platters, topped with meat and vegetables, and served to guests.
