HOW TO PREPARE CASSAVA CHIPS PERFECTLY (MANIOC, MUGO, YUCA)

250g of frozen Cassava fries (available in most Asian grocers). 

You can use fresh Cassava by peeling it, soaking it in water for 24hrs and then cut it into your desired shape.

THE NDUDU GLUTEN FREE MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE

The first time I made this dish was due to using up my leftovers and little did I know it will be a hit in my household.

I have used both Cream Cheese and Cheddar for this recipe, however you can use your preferred Cheese. This is a creative recipe hence you can replace the Yam with Cauliflower if you’re following a Keto diet.

In the absence of Horseradish you can use my spice blend of Onion, Ginger, Garlic and Aniseed.

I entertained a few guests during the Christmas festivities and yet again it was a firm favourite. Gina a fried of mine requested for the recipe as I echoed ‘watch out for it on my YouTube channel, ‘Ndudu by Fafa’.

I have finally filmed and uploaded the said video recipe and below are the list of ingredients and measurements.

INGREDIENTS 

BOILED YAM

Yam is readily available in most African and Asian Grocers. A few selected supermarkets do stock them also like Tesco.

400g of peeled and diced Yam
