4 cloves of garlic, grated
1 cup of plum tomatoes, diced (can swap two medium tomatoes)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp of parsley, finely chopped
1 wiri wiri pepper, finely chopped seeds removed (skip if you don't have or sub for a pinch of cayenne pepper)
2 tbsp coconut oil or other oil for cooking
Directions
Add cassava and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat
Add ½ teaspoon of salt and boil until the cassava is fork tender and almost translucent
Then remove from the heat, drain from the water and set aside
Next add coconut oil to a skillet, frying pan or wok on high heat
When coconut oil comes up to temperature add the sliced onions and sauté until the onion is a little brown
Then add the tomatoes and other fresh herbs
Continue to sauté until the tomatoes are soft then add the cassava
Add the remaining salt and black pepper and sauté for another minute or two on high heat
