📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Brochettes are one of Rwanda's most popular dishes: goat, beef, or sometimes fish is skewered and grilled over charcoal. At bars at night and family gatherings, they're eaten with fried potatoes or grilled bananas and dipped in pili-pili (chili oil). They're essential wherever people gather to talk.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In front of the charcoal at a Kigali bar at night, goat skewers grill in rows and are brought out on plates with fried potatoes.
