Peel the cassava and plantains, cut them into large chunks, and rinse well.
Boil the cassava in salted water until nearly soft, then add the plantains and cook until both are very tender.
Drain, reserving a little cooking water, and pound the hot cassava and plantain in a mortar until smooth and elastic, adding a splash of water if needed.
Shape the fufu into a smooth ball and serve immediately with soup or stew.
