Thebouidienne

== Description ==
Fish in the manner of Dakar
Any goes well in a Thebouidienne (pronounced CHEB-O-DJIN). If you use fillet of sole or flounder, roll up the fillets before cooking in this manner. We found this recipe in an out-of-the-way restaurant in Dakar frequented only by the Senegalese and consider it one of the best dishes in Africa.
