Foufou
Serves 4
Ingredients
Method
1 kg. Yuca, Yams, Or Plantains
1 l. Water
Salt to Taste
Peel the starchy vegetables and cut them into chunks.
Place the chunks into a large pot and add water and salt.
Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
Drain the vegetables and reserve some of the cooking water.
Mash the vegetables until they are smooth. You can use a food processor or a traditional mortar and pestle. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of the cooking water.
Serve the foufou with a soup or stew.
