做法

1. Peel the plantains and cut them into chunks. Peel the cassava, remove the fibrous core, and cut it into similar pieces.
2. Rinse both, then boil in salted water until very soft, about 25–30 minutes.
3. Drain well and return briefly to the pot to steam off excess moisture.
4. Pound the plantains and cassava together in a mortar until smooth, elastic, and free of lumps, adding a splash of cooking water only if needed.
5. Shape into smooth balls and serve hot with a West African sauce or stew.
