Kossou

Prepare the Mixture

In a large bowl, mix the cassava flour with 2 cups of water until smooth.

Cook the Kossou

Pour the mixture into a large pot.

Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Simmer

Once the mixture starts to thicken, reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring for about 10-15 minutes, or until the kossou is thick and smooth.

If using, stir in the palm oil or vegetable oil for added flavor.

Prepare the Sauce (Optional)

In a separate skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.

Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped hot peppers, cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

Season with salt and ground crayfish or shrimp powder (if using).

Serve
