The stew is left to cook for at least two hours for the meat and vegetables to become tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dish is known by a French name that was given to it during France&rsquo;s 40-year colonisation of Chad and translates into English as <em>shin of beef.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is typically suggested to serve this stew in bowls and accompany it with <a href=\"https:\/\/travelfoodatlas.com\/fufu-staple-african-food\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3998\">fufu<\/a> or rice.
