Fufu

Prepare the Ingredients

If using fresh cassava, peel and chop the cassava roots. Boil them in water until tender, then mash until smooth. If using cassava flour, skip to the next step.

Mix Cassava Flour

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Gradually add cassava flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Add a pinch of salt to taste.

Cook the Fufu

Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring the mixture until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.

Optional: Add Plantain Flour

For a richer texture, you can add 1/2 cup of plantain flour at this stage. Stir well to incorporate.

Shape and Serve

Transfer the cooked fufu to a bowl or plate and let it cool slightly before serving.

Fufu can be enjoyed with a variety of stews, soups, and sauces.
