Experience a healthier twist on a beloved West African staple with Whole30 Eba, a simple and satisfying recipe crafted from Whole30-approved cassava flour. This gluten-free, grain-free dish comes together in just 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or as a wholesome addition to your Whole30 meal plan. The process involves turning cassava flour into a smooth, dough-like consistency with boiling water, resulting in a light yet filling accompaniment that pairs beautifully with Whole30-compliant soups or stews. With only two ingredients and minimal effort, Whole30 Eba blends traditional flavors with dietary mindfulness, offering a deliciously authentic way to stay on track with your health goals.
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.
