White yams 2 lbs


Water to cover


Butter 2 T


Salt %26amp; pepper to taste





METHOD

Place the unpeeled yams in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Let boil for 15-30 minutes till yams are cooked through.


Drain yams, cool somewhat then peel. Place into a large bowl with the butter, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until very smooth.


Place into a serving bowl. Wet your hands with water, form into a ball and serve.


VARIATIONS


Substitute cassava root (yuca) for all the yams.


Use half yams and half plantains if you like. Simply boil the plantains unpeeled along with the yams. Then peel and mash along with the yams.


Cuban Fufu: use all plantains and mix in some pieces of roast pork or pork cracklings. Add a quick squeeze of lime juice if you like.


NOTES


Fufu is usually served as an accompaniment to meat or vegetable stews. To eat fufu, pull off a small ball of mush with your fingers. Form an indentation with your thumb, and use it to scoop up accompanying stews and other dishes. Or you can form larger balls with your hands or an ice cream scoop, place them in individual serving bowls and spoon stew around them.


This starchy West African side dish goes by many names: fufu, fofo, foufou, foutou. In French-speaking countries it is sometimes called cous-cous. The East and Southern African counterpart is ugali.


Fufu has also found its way into Caribbean creole cuisine and was certainly brought there by imported slaves. It is most often made with plantains or cornmeal and is known as foo-foo, or foofoo. On Barbados it is known as coocoo.


If you have ever seen pictures of African women pounding a large mortar and pestle in a steady rhythm, they are probably making fufu.


Fufu is made with a wide variety of starches. White yams are most popular in West Africa, sometimes mixed with plantains. Central Africans tend to favor cassava root (yuca). Africans far away from home will sometimes use potato flakes or Bisquick庐. Other options are sweet potatoes or semolina and ground rice. A variety of flours (rice, plantain) can also be boiled with water to form a starchy mass.I need recipe for african food soup or fufu?

4 green bananas


3 c. chicken stock or water


1/4 lb. bacon


3 tbsp. olive oil

Peel bananas. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Boil bananas in chicken stock 10 to 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain, reserving liquid. Meanwhile, cut bacon into 1/4 inch pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet and fry bacon until crisp. Discard fat and transfer bacon with slotted spoon to paper towel to drain. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to pan. Add garlic and cook over medium heat until fragrant but not brown. Add boiled bananas and bacon to pan and mash with potato masher or pestle, adding stock as necessary to produce a thick puree.
