    Cote D' Ivoire Attiéké  is a traditional Ivorian recipe.  It is made with fermented and grated cassava.  The dish is steamed and similar in texture to a couscous.  The flavor due to the fermenting is a wonderful sourness.  I was able to find frozen Attiéké at my local African market.  It can also be found boxed.  It was the perfect companion to the main dish called kedjenou.  I would highly recommend you try it! Serve with some garnish of sliced onions and tomatoes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 bag of attiéke about 1 lb.
    • 1 Tablespoon vinegar
    • 2 Maggi or stock cubes
    • 2 Tablespoons olive oil

    Instructions

    • Place the attiéké in a metal bowl then place in a steamer basket and steam until all the water has been absorbed.
    • Now remove from the steamer and work the attiéké with a fork to break up any clumps.
    • Return to the steamer and cook for about 10 minutes more.
    • Turn the attiéké into a bowl and work with a fork to break up all the clumps (if the clumps do not break up, then it has not cooked enough.
    • Steam for a further 10 minutes.
    • Continue with this process until the attiéké is fluffy and cooked but not sloppy (it should look like couscous or grits).
    • Once it is done, turn into a large bowl and work in the vinegar, crumbled Maggi cubes and olive oil. To serve, turn the attiéké onto a dish and garnish with a little diced tomato and thin slivers of sliced onion.
