• Okra stew: 1. Defrost the spinach. 2. Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and fill with enough boiling water so they are covered. Weigh them down. Soak about 30 minutes, until they are plump. Lift (with for example, a slotted spoon) the mushrooms out of the liquid. Place the mushrooms in a bowl of cool water and slosh around. Lift the mushrooms out, and rinse the bowl. Fill with cool water again and place the mushrooms in. If there is grit in the bowl the second time, repeat. Let the mushrooms cool. Remove and discard any tough stems. Coarsely chop the mushrooms. Strain the (original) soaking liquid through a coffee filter or paper towel set in a sieve. Set aside the mushroom liquid for use. 3.

CASSAVA FUFU RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the cassava purée and ½ cup water to a medium pot and use your hands to break up any lumps, then stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring continuously to break up any lumps that form and adding up to ½ cup more water as needed to ensure the fufu is not stiff or lumpy, until the cassava turns from bright white to off-white in color and the fufu is stretchy and smooth. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Scoop 1 cup of fufu from the pot with a wooden spoon and, using wet hands to prevent sticking, roll into a ball or your desired shape. Repeat with the remaining fufu.
• Serve the fufu with sawa sawa soup or the soup of your choice.
• Enjoy!
