Fufu
 
 
West African, Ghana staple
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds yams (or and equal amount yams to plantains)
  • 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
  1. Places yams in cold water and bring to a boil.
  2. Boil the yams until they are soft, about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the pot from heat. Cool yams with running water.
  4. Drain all of the water.
  5. Remove peels from yams.
  6. Put the yams back into the pot or a bowl. Mash the yams with a masher or a spoon until smooth.(This part can take two people: one to hold the bowl and the other to stir. The fufu is tough!)
  7. Shape fufu into balls and serve immediately. Use the fufu to scoop up meat and sauce.
