Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the water and stir to dissolve.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cassava flour to the pot while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula. This helps to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue stirring the mixture until the cassava flour is fully absorbed and starts to form a smooth, stretchy dough-like consistency.
Add the coconut flour to the mixture and stir well to incorporate. This adds extra richness and a slightly nutty flavor to the eba.
Keep stirring the eba over low heat for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the coconut flour is well cooked and the mixture is smooth and pliable.
Once the eba reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat and shape it into balls or your preferred shape using a spatula or your hands, depending on preference.
Transfer the paleo eba to a serving plate, allowing it to cool slightly before serving.
Serve with your choice of Paleo-friendly stew or soup, such as a hearty vegetable soup, meat stew, or seafood sauce.
