Fufu is the staple vegetable mash served throughout West Africa. This version from the Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Foods and Flavors of Africa is an updated flavor-rich version with corn for added texture. Ingredients:
1 small sweet potato, peeled (8 ounces) |
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled (1 pound) |
6 ears corn, shucked |
1 cup coconut milk |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or 2 tablespoons spiced ghee |
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Combine the sweet potato and baking potatoes in a large pot, add water to cover, and bring to a boil. Boil until tender, about 30 minutes. Five minutes before the potatoes are done, add the corn.
2. Drain the potatoes and corn and transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Set the corn aside to cool slightly, and mash the potatoes with a fork. Cut the corn kernels from the cobs, and fold into the potatoes.
3. Combine the coconut milk, olive oil and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir the flavored coconut milk into the mashed potatoes, then add the garam masala and salt and mix well.
