Waiting for a cook
Nigeria
Plantain fufu is the swallow made from unripe green plantain instead of cassava or yam: a smooth, slightly grey-green, stretchy dough that is eaten with egusi, efo riro, banga and any other Nigerian soup. It is the everyday choice of people watching sugar or weight, since green plantain is lower in starch than pounded yam and eba, and it has become a standard option in home kitchens and restaurants. Two ingredients, plantain and water.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 2 ingredients and 4 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
