Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Oatmeal fufu is the Nigerian swallow made from ground oats: oat flour stirred into boiling water until it thickens into a smooth, pale dough that is eaten with egusi, ogbono, okra and the rest of the soups in place of eba or pounded yam. It came out of the health-conscious kitchens of the 2010s and has stayed, because it is quick, filling and lighter than cassava swallows. Two ingredients, oats and water.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 2 ingredients and 6 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
