Ingredients
- 2 lbs cassava
- ½ teaspoon salt
- vegetable oil
Equipment
- Very fine mesh cheesecloth (or muslin)
- Skillet
- Spatula
Instructions
- Peel and wash the cassava very well, cut in half lengthwise and remove its center, then grate finely.
- Once grated, add salt and mix.
- Place the cassava onto a very fine mesh cheesecloth or muslin and squeeze well to remove all of its liquid.
- Spread the resulting paste on a tray and place it in the refrigerator for 5 hours, stirring the cassava every hour. After these 5 hours, it should be very slightly damp.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 1 teaspoon of oil, spreading it with a pastry brush over the entire surface of the pan.
- Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of cassava into the pan, and spread it thinly with a spatula to obtain a fine casabe.
- Cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. The remaining moisture should evaporate to form a crumbly dough. The casabe should have a crunchy texture, if it remains flexible it requires more cooking time.
- Repeat until the cassava is used up.
