Lamb With Onion-Mustard Sauce / Dibi

Serves: 4

Print this Recipe

SENEGAL

As a rule, West Africans favor stews and boiled dishes over grilled fare. But dibi (grilled lamb) is so popular in Senegal, it could qualify as an official state dish. You’ll find it being served at sidewalk stalls and roadside eateries throughout Dakar almost any time of day or night. All manner of lamb cuts hang in sanguine glory from the walls of the stall-chops, shoulders, legs, and organ meats. Customers simply point to the cut they want and the vendor cooks it on a simple grill, then slathers it with oniony mustard sauce. This princely repast is served up in foil or newspaper, and it’s so good you want to lick your fingers when you’re finished. The popularity of grilled lamb here can be explained by religion: Senegal is 95 percent Muslim. Arab traders brought the art of grilling, not to mention the love of lamb, to this West African nation.


   8 loin lamb chops (each about 4 ounces and 1 1/2 inches thick) or 12 rib lamb chops (each about 3 ounces and 1 inch thick)
   1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus 1 tablespoon
   Salt, to taste
   Black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
   1 onion, medium, finely chopped
   1/4 cup mustard, grainy French
   3 to 4 tablespoons water
   1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)


1. Preheat the grill to high.

2. Brush the lamb chops lightly on both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a platter and let marinate while you prepare the sauce.

3. Combine the chopped onion, the 1/4 cup oil, and the mustard in a small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the onion is soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Thin the mixture to sauce consistency with 3 tablespoons water, adding up to 1 tablespoon more, if needed. Remove from the heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste, or the sugar if the sauce tastes too tart. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.

4. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the chops on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until cooked to taste, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium.

5. Transfer the chops to serving plates or a platter and spoon the onion mustard sauce on top. Serve immediately.
