Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

500 g fresh cassava yuca, peeled and finely grated
1 tsp salt
200 ml coconut milk
Oil or butter for frying

Method

Place the grated cassava in a clean cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible — this is important.
Mix the dry grated cassava with salt.
Press the cassava into round, flat discs (about 15 cm wide and 1 cm thick) using a ring mould or by hand.
Cook in a dry pan over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until just set and lightly golden.
Soak the cooked bammies in coconut milk for 5 minutes until they absorb the milk.
Fry or grill in oil until golden and crispy on both sides.
Serve alongside ackee and saltfish, escovitch fish or jerk chicken.
