FUFU

Fufu image

conventional west African fufu is made by boildin such starchy foods as cassava, yam, plantain or rice, then pounding them into a glutinous mass, usually in a giant, wooden mortar and pestle. This adaptation for North Americans may trouble you if you try to stick to minimally processed foods. but it's worth trying at least once with West African Peanut Soup.

Time 25m

Yield 1/2 cup, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups Bisquick
2 1/2 cups instant potato flakes

Steps:

Bring 6 cups of water to a rapid boil in a large, heavy pot.
Combine the two ingredients and add to the water.
Stir constantly for 10-15 minutes - a process that needs two people for best results: one to hold the pot while the other stirs vigorously with a strong implement (such as a thick wooden spoon). The mixture will become very thick and difficult to stir, but unless you are both vigilant and energetic, you'll get a lumpy mess.
When the fufu is ready (or you've stirred to the limits of your endurance), dump about a cup of the mixture into a wet bowl and shake until it forms itself into a smooth ball.
Serve on a large platter alongside a soup or stew.

Add the cassava dough/pulp into a heavy bottom pot, break the pulp into smaller pieces with your hands. Add water and mix to combine with your hand until lump free and a smooth paste is achieved. The consistency would be like that of thick double cream.
Turn on the heat to medium-low heat and start stirring vigorously, the fufu will start changing colour from white to off white. You will have to keep stirring to combine. The fufu will become hard to stir and feel stretchy at some point, you will need to add warm water to the mix as needed. Cover the pan pot with its lid and leave to cook for about 5 to 10 minutes so that the steam can cook the fufu thoroughly and desired softness is achieved.
You will know the fufu is cooked through when it is no longer white, the final result will be off-cream in colour. Portion the cooked fufu into bowls or in cling film until you are ready to use. Serve with any soup of choice.
