Provided by gnikylime

Number Of Ingredients 12

Okra stew:
500 g. okra
50 g. dried shitake mushrooms
30 g. dried chanterelle/pfefferling
250 g. frozen spinach
1/2 onion
13 g. dried seaweed
2 T. (Esslöffel) vegan bouillon
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Cassava fufu:
1.6 kg cassava/yuca

Steps:

  • Okra stew: 1. Defrost the spinach. 2. Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and fill with enough boiling water so they are covered. Weigh them down. Soak about 30 minutes, until they are plump. Lift (with for example, a slotted spoon) the mushrooms out of the liquid. Place the mushrooms in a bowl of cool water and slosh around. Lift the mushrooms out, and rinse the bowl. Fill with cool water again and place the mushrooms in. If there is grit in the bowl the second time, repeat. Let the mushrooms cool. Remove and discard any tough stems. Coarsely chop the mushrooms. Strain the (original) soaking liquid through a coffee filter or paper towel set in a sieve. Set aside the mushroom liquid for use. 3. Add the mushrooms and some of the strained broth to a large pot and saute a little bit. Add a little broth whenever necessary. After cooking for 10 - 15 minutes, add the spinach. 4. Finely dice the onion and the okra. Heat the oil in a skillet. Stir fry the onion and okra for about 5 minutes. 5. Add the okra to the stew. Also add salt and pepper to taste. And any broth if needed. 6. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes. 7. Cut the seaweed into strips. Add to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Cassava fufu: 1.

CASSAVA FUFU RECIPE BY TASTY



Cassava Fufu Recipe by Tasty image

Cassava fufu, said to originate in West Africa, is made from fermented, puréed cassava, or yucca root, pounded with water into a soft, sticky dough. It's typically served with various West African soups, such as sawa sawa with egusi, groundnut soup, or okra soup. Traditionally, it is eaten by hand and swallowed, not chewed.

Time 20m

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb frozen cassava purée, thawed
½ cup water, plus more as needed
Sawa sawa with egusi, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • 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!
