Easy Fufu Recipe
Report
Fufu is the traditional starchy West African side dish made with plantains and cassava and has a similar consistency to mashed potatoes. It’s one of our favorite plantain recipes and very easy to make at home.

Ingredients
- 1 pound cassava I used 1 cassava for this recipe
- 1 pound plantain best if not completely ripe; used 2 plantains
- water
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the cassava and plantains with cold water. Peel the skin and cut them into chunks.
- In a large pot add water and bring it to boil.
- 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.
- Transfer the pieces to a food processor or blender using a slotted spoon.
- Pulse to blend, adding water GRADUALLY, until it reaches your desired consistency. It’s important to add small amount of water each time.
- Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
Notes
- Store the individually wrapped fufu in the refrigerator and they’ll last for 4-5 days.
