How to Make Fufu











Ingredients:

6 plantain (looks like big green bananas)
6 cassava roots

Method:

Peel and roughly chop the plantain.
Remove tough outer skin from cassava and roughly chop.
Boil plantain and cassava together until soft, approximately 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

Prepare your large mortar and pestle outside, and find a strong man to pound the fufu for you!
Add a small amount at a time to the mortar and pestle. The man should be pounding in a nice rhythm so your hands don’t get hit!
As the fufu mixture starts to soften, scoop the fufu towards the centre in between each pound. Watch your fingers!

The fufu is ready when it is a nice soft texture and sticks together well – approximately 30 minutes all together.

Serve with whatever soup or stew you like. Pull off a piece of fufu with your hands and use it to scoop up the soup or stew.
