Fufu (or fufuo, foofoo, foufou) Fufu is a popular West African food. In Twi, fufu means "mash or mix" for a soft and doughy staple food of the Akan ethnic groups in Ghana and other West African countries. It's made out of boiled cassava mixed with plantains or cocoyams and pounded together in a mortar (waduro) with a pestle (woma) and only eaten with liquid soups (nkwan) such as, Light soup (Nkrakra nkwan), Abenkwan (palm nut soup), Nkatenkwan (peanut butter soup), Abunabun soup. In other West African countries, fufu is eaten with hot pepper soup, okra, or other kinds of stew. Fufu is eaten in many countries in West Africa and Central Africa such as Ghana, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Cote D'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, both Congos, Cameroon, the Central African Republic and Gabon, and is also found in the Caribbean. It is often made in the traditional Ghanaian, Nigerian and Cuban method of separately mixing and pounding equal portions of cassava and green plantain flour with water. It is then adjusted to either increase or decrease the viscosity of the fufu based on personal preferences. Other flours, such as semolina, maize flour or mashed plantains may take the place of cassava flour. Fufu is eaten with the fingers, and a small ball of it can be dipped into an accompanying soup or sauce.
