Instructions

Prep the Ground Provisions

Peel and chop cassava, yam, banana, and sweet potato into manageable chunks.
1 green banana, 1 cassava, 1 sweet potato, 1 eddo
Rinse them well and set aside.

Make the Dumplings

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ tsp salt
Slowly add water and knead until you get a smooth, firm dough.
¾ cup water
Break into small pieces and roll into discs or log shapes. Set aside.

Boil It All

Fill a large pot with enough water to cover everything. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Salt to taste, ½ tsp oil
Add the ground provisions first (since they take longer). Let them boil for about 10–12 mins.
Add the dumplings. Boil for another 15–20 mins or until both dumplings and provisions are fork-tender.

Drain and Serve

Drain everything, plate it up, and serve it hot with your favorite protein, stew, or butter and pepper sauce.
