a bown of fah-fah or goat meat soup from Djibouti

Djibouti Fah-fah is a classic dish made typically of goat meat with vegetables and green chilies. This is sometimes called a stew, it is hardy meal and delicious served with their flat bread called canjeero.  If you can’t find goat meat feel free to substitute whatever meat you would like.  I happen to use goat and found the meat and the dish to be outstanding.

Djibouti fah-fahI have seen goat meat in my local Asian and African stores.  If you can locate it, you really should give it a try. If you have had it before or make this Djibouti fah-fah with goat meat I would really love to hear how much you enjoyed it.
