Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Whole30-approved cassava flour
- 600 milliliters Water
Instructions
Start by bringing the 600 milliliters of water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Ensure the water is hot enough before proceeding to get the right texture for the Eba.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and begin to add the cassava flour gradually while stirring continuously using a wooden spoon or spatula. This helps to avoid any clumps forming in the mixture.
Keep stirring the mixture vigorously, ensuring that no lumps form and the cassava is evenly mixed. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
As the mixture starts to thicken, continue stirring until all the water is absorbed, and the Eba becomes a smooth, dough-like consistency. It should come together easily and pull away from the sides of the pot.
Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the Eba onto a flat, clean surface, preferably a wooden board or a flat plate, for easy formation.
Serve the Eba immediately with your choice of Whole30-compliant soup or stew. Divide into equal portions to serve, taking care to shape them neatly for presentation.
