Another important rule in Malinese cuisine is that which says that men do not cook. This is available especially for men from prominent families. There is no doubt that even in this situation there are some exceptions, one of the reason being the fact that is has always been said that men cook the most delicious meals. Some of these dishes are thiebu djen, a stewed whitefish usually eaten for lunch; basmati rice, and halibut steak stewed in a fragrant, salty tomato sauce and served together with carrots, eggplant, cabbage, and cassava; thiebu djeninto; fish balls made of salmon and halibut. An authentic Malinese dish is a stunningly simple combination of jasmine rice, carrots, sweet potatoes, and yam doused with peanut sauce; yassa au poulet, a half-chicken stuffed and baked with a tangy onion-mustard sauce; grilled lamb; « special sauce » which consists of a combination of onion, peppers, ginger, and salt and it could also include green olives; salad of field greens; akra, which is served with tomato-shrimp sauce. Malinese people tend to prepare a lot of dishes using a great variety of fruits and vegetables, and this means that they consume lots of vitamins, avoiding thus toxic ingredients which, in time, have became popular all over the world. This may also be understood as a real symbol of respect for the traditional cuisine and for the real values.
