Thiere

Thiere or thiéré is a millet-based couscous and an important staple food in Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania. Thiere is very versatile and can be eaten with fermented milk or cream and sugar as a breakfast cereal or prepared just as a standard couscous. Although it can be eaten as a breakfast or at lunch, it is usually eaten at night. Historically the dish was prepared in a very labor-intensive way, with women pounding the millet by hand using a large traditional pestle and mortar and adding baobab leaf (laalo) to it to give it a smooth texture and enhance the taste. It can be eaten with base - a form of peanut stew - and/or with meat, fish, or vegetables.
