African Fufu Recipe - The Spruce Eats

 Pounded yam and egusi soup


Nov 19, 2018 - Fufu is a staple food in most of West Africa, and West African slaves brought it to the Caribbean. You can make it with any starchy ground provision, like plantains, cassava, or malanga, but this recipe is a bit different—it calls for true yams.

Place the cassava and plantains (with peels on) in a large pot and cover with enough water. Bring to a boil, and cook until the cassava is soft, about 30 minutes; drain. Remove and discard the peels from the plantains, then return them to the pot. Mash with butter, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. If you're short on time, you can also take a real shortcut: instant mashed potatoes. I learned this from a friend in Sacramento, California, Viola Okoro, who married Ebu and learned all the traditional dishes from her new community of Nigerians living in the USA.
