Ingredients

  • 2 Cassava medium fresh or frozen, about 1 pound
  • 3 Plantains medium-ripe, or 4 Plantains Green (under-ripe)
  • 1 1/2 cups Coconut Water 12 ounces
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Peel fresh cassavas with a sharp knife, or thaw frozen ones completely. Cut them into large chunks.
  2. Place cassava in a pot, and add water until the cassava is half covered. Bring to a boil; cover tightly, and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the plantain, coconut water, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until cassava is soft and water absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir a few times.
  4. Mash them to desired smoothness, and serve warm.
