Welcome to another recipe episode, fam! Today, I’ll be sharing one of the most intriguing meals I made recently. I call it daring because I have never eaten boiled Cassava. Yesterday, I decided to cook cassava pottage mixed with sweet potatoes (fried) and beef sauce. At first, I was sceptical about how it would taste, but as I was cooking, I knew I was doing the right thing. Once it was ready, I knew it would be one of my favourite meals. Trust me; this is a recipe for a good day!
This somewhat tastes better than the traditional Nigerian Yam Pottage, in my opinion.
To have a taste of this delicious cassava pottage, you’ll need the following ingredients.
Ingredients.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, chopped

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red chile flakes
- 1 teaspoon curry
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup baby spinach (optional)
Preparation
Step 1. Make the beef sauce according to the recipe I posted HERE.
Step 2. Once the sauce is ready, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into chunks size.
Step 3. Rinse the potatoes and fry in a deep fryer.
Step 4. Peel and cut the Cassava into chunks size.
Step 5. Boil the Cassava till it’s done.
Step 6. Mix the Cassava and fried potatoes in a pot of beef broth.
Step 7. Add the beef sauce to the pot.
Step 8. Stir till it thickens.
Step 9. Add your seasoning cube (Maggi or Poyco), crayfish, onga spice, ginger spice, garlic, and salt while cooking. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 10. Enjoy your meal.
