  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 medium Onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Wash, chop, and measure as needed.

    💡 Mise en place - prepare everything before cooking.

  2. 2

    Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and allow to shimmer.

    💡 The pounding technique transforms cassava from a rough paste to smooth, elastic dough. This is arm workout but essential.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.

    💡 Don't overcrowd the pan for best results.

  4. 4

    Add seasonings and sauce. Simmer until flavors meld.

    💡 Low heat allows flavors to develop.

  5. 5

    Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.

    💡 Fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon brighten any dish.

  6. 6

    Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
