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.
I have seen goat meat in my local Asian and African stores. If you can locate it, you really should give it a try.
