In African cuisine, FUFU occupies the same position as potato puree in traditional European cuisine 😄 This base supplement is served with almost all kinds of sauces. Depending on the country or culture, couscous/or Foufou is preparing in a different way. You can make couscous based on cassava flour, corn flour, rice, millet , macabo. etc
What is Foutou banana?
Today, I have a rapid foutou banana recipe made with a blender . It is a couscous made from plantains and cassava . It is very popular in Ivory Coast and Ghana. And I assure you that it is frankly good, at home in Cameroon, the Foutou banana is not at all known. I don't even think that in Cameroon, we do the couscous based on 2 different ingredients.
How to cook the Foutou banana?
There are several ways to make this recipe:
- Either you buy the semolina directly ready to be ready in Afro-shops, that you will have to mix just with hot water,
- Either you buy the Emoule du Foutou, with ripe plantains . So you should cook the plantain, then crush and add to the cooking of the Foutou with the semolina. I would come back later with the exact recipe, but I hope you can already get an idea of what I'm talking about. It will make the Foutou less bland at the end and more sweet . Check the recipe here!
- Either you celebrate like me, and the Foutou is really more delicious! You use a mixer to crush everything after boiled. This really makes the preparation easy, because pounding with a pestle in a traditional way takes a lot of time.
Foutou banana is generally accompanied by a sauce, called clear sauce (like on the photo 👇🏿) or seed sauce
