Cocoyam fufu is a swallow made from cocoyams (also known as taro root, dasheen, yautia, eddo, and kalo).

Ingredients

• Cocoyam
• Cassava flour
• Water

Equipment

• Mortar and pestle
• Pot
• Bowl
• Knife

Procedure

1. Cut the cocoyam into medium-sized chunks, and cook in a pot of water until tender. Drain the cocoyam.
2. Combine the cassava flour with ½ cup water to make a mouldable ball.
3. Add the cassava mixture to the cooked cocoyam in a mortar. Pound together until smooth.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Always use cocoyam heads to make a smooth swallow. The cassava flour serves to bind the cocoyam and make it mouldable.
