Preparation

Fufu Preparation Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients

Peel the cassava and plantains and cut them into smaller chunks.

2. Cook the Cassava and Plantains

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the cassava and plantains, then cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until both are soft.

3. Drain and Mash

Once cooked, drain the cassava and plantains. Place them in a large bowl and mash them together until smooth and stretchy. You can use a mortar and pestle or a stand mixer for this step.

4. Season and Serve

Add salt to taste while mashing. Once fully blended and stretchy, shape the fufu into balls or serve in a bowl, and it's ready to be enjoyed with your favorite soup or stew.
