Cassava-Corn Banku with Spiced Tilapia Stew
Savor a delightful fusion of West African tradition, where tender, flaky tilapia is gently stewed in a vibrant medley of tomatoes, onions, and aromatic spices, served alongside a soft, subtly sweet cassava-corn banku. This dish strikes a perfect balance between comforting carbs and lean protein, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Cornmeal (28g)
1/3 cup Cassava Flour (50g)
6 ounces Tilapia Fillet (170g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (90g)
1/4 cup Chopped Onion (40g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
Mixed Spices to taste
PREPARATION
In a small saucepan, combine the cassava flour and cornmeal with water gradually, stirring constantly to create a smooth, slightly thick batter. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring intermittently until the mixture thickens into a dough-like consistency. Cover and keep warm.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and mixed spices (garlic, ginger, chili powder, salt, and pepper) and let simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the tilapia fillet to the skillet, spooning some of the tomato-onion mixture over the fish. Allow the tilapia to cook through, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness, until it is flaky and opaque.
Plate a portion of the warm banku onto your serving dish and top with the spiced tilapia stew. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra spices if desired.
