Made from starchy root vegetables like cassava, yams, or plantains, Fufu is pounded into a smooth, elastic consistency and pairs perfectly with hearty soups and stews. It's an essential element of African cuisine, providing a neutral yet satisfying base that complements bold flavors.

- Optional: 1 cup plantain flour or yam flour

Method:

- Prepare the Ingredients:

- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a pot.
