500g outer flesh of a cassava tuber

Peel the plantains and add along with the chopped cassava to salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 35 minutes, until soft. Remove the cassava and the plantains into separate bowls.

Pound the cassava to a paste and add a little of the cooking broth. Separately pound the plantains to a paste. Mix the cassava and plantain pastes together and add a little cooking broth to prevent sticking. Serve as an accompaniment to any main meal.
