🌍 What Is Cassava Fufu?

Cassava Fufu is a traditional starchy side dish made from cassava (also known as yuca). It is a staple in many African and Caribbean cuisines and is known for its smooth texture and ability to complement a variety of soups and stews.

🧾 Ingredients

**Base:**

- 2 large cassava (yuca) roots

- Water (for soaking and blending)

**Optional:**

- Plastic food wrap (for serving)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. **Prepare the Cassava**

- Peel the cassava roots by cutting off the bottom part and making a line to remove the skin.

- Cut the cassava into small pieces, removing the middle stem to make blending easier.

2. **Soak the Cassava**

- Place the cut cassava pieces in a bowl, cover with water, and rinse thoroughly.

- Transfer the cassava back to the bowl, adding enough water to cover it completely.

- Allow the cassava to soak for 1 to 2 days.

3. **Blend the Cassava**

- After soaking, rinse the cassava again and transfer it to a blender.

- Add water and blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

4. **Strain the Mixture**

- Transfer the blended cassava into a muslin bag and tie it securely.

- Place the bag in a strainer and weigh it down with a heavy object.

- Let it sit for about 4 hours to drain excess liquid.

5. **Prepare the Fufu**

- Remove the cassava dough from the bag.

- In a pot, add some of the cassava dough and water, stirring until dissolved.

- Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and elastic.

6. **Final Cooking**

- Once the dough is smooth, cover the pot and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

- Stir again until it reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer it softer, add more water.

7. **Serve**
