poulet DG — Cameroon

Poulet DG is a traditional dish of Cameroonian cuisine. It is a sauté of fried chicken, sliced and pre-fried plantains as well as vegetables (carrots, peppers, green beans) and various aromatics (herbs, salt and tomato concentrate and sometimes bouillon cube). It is a simple recipe, requiring few exotic ingredients. The name of the dish (Poulet DG = CEO) appears to be a play on words dating from the 1980s, 'DG' meaning 'chief executive officer'. Originally, the dish was reserved for persons of a certain social importance. Today, it is a delight that is completely democratized, especially since the ingredients in its composition are accessible to all even if the preparation times make it nonetheless a festive dish. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3400305) and Wikipedia.
