Step 1

Rinse the cassava and plantains with cold water. Peel the skin and cut them into chunks.

Step 2

In a large pot add water and bring it to boil.

Step 3

Add cassava and plantain pieces, and boil them for about 15-20 minutes until they’re soft. Test by piercing with a fork after 15 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the pieces to a food processor or blender using a slotted spoon.

Step 5

Pulse to blend, adding water GRADUALLY, until it reaches your desired consistency. It’s important to add small amount of water each time.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter, and take about 2 spoons of the mixture to the middle of the wrap. Shape it into balls. Repeat with the rest of the dough. You’ll get about 8-10 fufu balls. Serve them with stew or soup.
