Banana Fufu (Foutou)

Peel your cassava root and 4 plantains. Cut the cassava into small cubes and cut the plantains into three equal pieces.

In a pot, or large saucepan, bring water to a boil and then add the bananas and cassava pieces with a little salt. Cook over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes until the cassava is tender.

Remove the cassava and bananas from the water. Use a mortar to mash the cassava until it forms a smooth paste. Then add the bananas a little at a time, continuing to mash until you have a smooth paste.

I personally like to add cassava flour to my Banana Foutou! To do this, transfer your mashed cassava and bananas into a bowl and add a little flour according to the consistency of Foutou you want (up to 150g).

Using your hands or a small bowl, shape your banana fufu dough into balls and place them in a serving dish.

Serve your delicious Banana Fufu while still warm with a soup or sauce such as okra sauce for example. Enjoy your meal!
