Bright, bold, and deeply aromatic, our Yassa is a traditional West African-inspired marinade and simmer sauce in one. Built on vibrant lemon, slow-cooked onion, and tangy mustard, it delivers a rich, layered flavour that transforms simple ingredients into something memorable.
Traditionally used for Yassa Poulet (chicken), this versatile sauce is just as delicious with vegetables, tofu, or plant-based proteins. It can also be enjoyed straight from the jar as a zesty condiment — perfect alongside fish or roasted dishes.
Designed for ease and flavour, Yassa works beautifully as both a marinade and a ready-to-use cooking base, making it ideal for quick, nourishing meals at home.

A bright, citrus-forward staple that brings depth, warmth, and a little something different to your kitchen.
this was my first try of Juanita's sauces and it was an instant hit. I love the lemony flavour as a dip, use to marinade tofu in it and/or to cook with vegetables, it goes particularly well with zucchini and squash. Give it a try, it is exquisite!
