Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of cassava
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 cup of coconut milk
  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel cassava and cut into 2 inch chunks. At this stage you could cut them in half and remove the root but I prefer to let them boil until they split open then remove the exposed root.
  • Boil cassava chunks in salted water for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Using a fork, remove root from boiled cassava chunks.
  • Add chopped garlic, rosemary, olive oil and coconut milk.
  • Mash until you reach your desired texture and consistency. I'm going for a rustic finish where you get small chunks of cassava between the smooth mash but you can go for a totally creamy finish if you want.
  • Add mixture to a greased muffin tray or use a spoon to portion them out into individual pies for a rustic, free form finish.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degree for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before serving.
  • Enjoy!
