Ingredients
5 servings
- •1 lb frozen cassava purée, thawed
- •½ cup water, plus more as needed
- •Sawa sawa with egusi, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Add the cassava purée and ½ cup water to a medium pot and use your hands to break up any lumps, then stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously to break up any lumps that form and adding up to ½ cup more water as needed to ensure the fufu is not stiff or lumpy, until the cassava turns from bright white to off-white in color and the fufu is stretchy and smooth. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Scoop 1 cup of fufu from the pot with a wooden spoon and, using wet hands to prevent sticking, roll into a ball or your desired shape. Repeat with the remaining fufu.
- Serve the fufu with sawa sawa soup or the soup of your choice.
- Enjoy!
