Pondu with Fufu and White Fish
Hearty cassava leaves simmered with aromatic leeks and tender white fish, served alongside a smooth, dough-like fufu for a comforting and authentic texture.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Tilapia fillet
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 cup Frozen cassava leaves
0.5 cup Leeks
0.25 cup Yellow onion
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 cup Green bell pepper
1.8 cup Water
0.25 tsp Red palm oil
0.2 cup Cassava flour
PREPARATION
Season the tilapia fillet with sea salt and black pepper, then steam until fully cooked and flake it into large pieces.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the frozen cassava leaves, chopped leeks, yellow onion, garlic, and green bell pepper with 1 cup of the water.
Simmer the vegetable mixture over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the greens are tender and fragrant.
Incorporate the red palm oil and the flaked tilapia into the pot, simmering for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare the fufu by bringing the remaining 0.8 cup of water to a boil in a separate small saucepan.
Slowly add the cassava flour to the boiling water while stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until a thick, elastic dough forms.
Portion the warm fufu into rounds and serve in a bowl with a generous ladle of the savory pondu stew.
