YAAKE YAAKE RECIPE

Yaake Yaake is a gluten free steamed pudding made out of Cassava and it’s popular amongst the Ewes of Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo.

The authentic recipe does require the usage of Cassava only, however I prefer to add a little bit of Corn flour for that fluffy texture. The recipe on my YouTube channel, ‘Ndudu by Fafa’ covers both recipes. List of ingredients and measurements are mentioned below;

INGREDIENTS 

1 large peeled  Cassava soaked overnight in water (this gets rid off any toxins present in Cassava)

1 tablespoonful of Corn flour

Half a teaspoon of Salt

1 litre of Water

METHOD

Enjoy with your preferred stew or soup. Best served with the spicy Ghanaian Salsa and popular tiny fried  fish known as ‘One Mouth Thousand’.

FRESH PLANTAIN FUFU RECIPE

Plantains are rich in fibre (which is good for your digestive system), Potassium, ( which regulates your heart beat and helps your muscles to work effectively) Vitamin A (which is good for eyes), Vitamin C (helps boost your immune system) to mention but a few. Plantains are similar in calories to Potatoes, however they contain more nutrients to Potatoes. 



Try switching your Potatoes to Plantains the next time you visit your local grocer. Plantains can be enjoyed when unripened (Green), ripened (when it's Yellow) and Over ripened (when it turns black). 
This recipe used the unripened Green Plantain which served with any soup of your choice. 

INGREDIENTS

2 Green peeled and cubed Plantains

150ml of Water

UTENSILS

A very good blender like a Vitamix.

A flat wooden ladle
