Butter Cassava

Cassava is my favorite provision of all time. It is one of the most versatile provisions that appears in great dishes like soups, fries, fufu and pone. Butter Cassava is a simple but extremely delicious side dish you can prepare to have with your favorite meat or legume.

Some people like a very mushy butter cassava that’s similar to creamy mashed potatoes. I prefer something with some more structure and bite to it which makes it a sturdier side dish to pair with something meaty or saucy.

No matter your preference, butter cassava is an amazing but easy dish to prepare.

Cassava that has been boiled perfectly is creamy and hearty with a very subtle, sweet flavor. The addition of butter adds a layer of luxuriousness to the texture of the boiled cassava.
