pairs extremely well with accompaniments Like buttered spinach, stemmed season vegetables or a side of fried plantains.

Fufu is a staple in West African cuisine, and Mama Ashanti’s version is not to be missed. This starchy dish is made by pounding boiled cassava and plantains until they become a smooth dough-like
consistency. It's often served with soup or stew. Preferably eaten with the fingers for a more joyous experience.
