Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cassava flour
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and gradually add the cassava flour while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to stir the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it thickens into a smooth and dough-like consistency. The mixture should pull away from the sides of the pan and form a soft ball.
If using salt, stir it in at this stage for added flavor (optional).
Once fully cooked and thickened, remove the ugali from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish or plate.
Shape the ugali into a rounded mound using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite Whole30-compliant protein and vegetables.
