It’s popular for breakfast or a sweet snack.
When: Daily, 10am-5am
It’s hugely popular among locals for a quick and sweet breakfast,
but although we enjoyed it on numerous occasions,
it’s definitely much sweeter—and with chewier grain—than the homemade version we tasted at Chez Joe.

Thiakry is a couscous pudding which is arguably a dessert food, but we decided we’d make it for breakfast because the recipe we found first seemed relatively healthy and hearty. We didn’t have either so we used regular wheat couscous. Thiakry Ingredients1 cup dry couscous1/2 cup plain yoghurt1/2 cup milk1/2 cup sour cream1/2 tsp nutmeg1/2 tsp cinnamon1 vanilla pod, scraped1/4 coconut sugar, or to taste Ash had made the thiakry in advance, but forgotten about the grilled pineapple, so whilst he thought he was organised, he wasn’t. We were about to sit down to eat in the garden when Miranda noticed a trail of fox excrement smeared about the patio, where — we soon discovered — Preschooler Mash had stood in it and then run around with it on the bottom of his shoe. The good news is that he did actually eat quite a lot of his thiakry, amused by the fact that he was eating couscous for breakfast. We liked it, but didn’t love it.

Thiakry is a sweet, creamy couscous pudding that is a popular dessert in Gambia and also makes for a satisfying breakfast. It’s particularly delicious when topped with grilled pineapple. It’s the kind of dish you could heavily sweeten and eat as an indulgent dessert. Or, like in this recipe, lightly sweeten and top with fruit for a satisfying breakfast. Thiakry is lovely served with grilled pineapple, shredded coconut and yogurt. You can serve this with any kind of fresh or dried fruit, including mango, banana or dried apricot.

Thiakry is a true Senegalese comfort food. We enjoyed this dessert with mint tea which is so popular in the region. This easy to make dessert is very similar to rice pudding and is just as comforting. Chill at least an hour or until ready to serve.

It is consumed as a snack, dessert or sometimes breakfast.
It is quick and easy to prepare; so, perfect for a quick, but indulgent breakfast.
The longer you leave couscous Thiakry, the thicker it becomes as couscous absorbs the liquid.
You may need to add more yogurt or milk if it becomes too thick before you are ready to eat.
Be aware milk boils over very quickly and could make a mess on your cooker.
Watch the pan and pour in the couscous as soon as the milk starts to roll boil.
