Pull a small ball of mush off with your fingers, form an indentation with your thumb and use it to scoop up stews and other dishes. Or place large balls in individual serving bowls and spoon stew around them.
How you can cook fufu
Method
Place the unpeeled yams in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the yams are cooked through and tender. Drain and let cool somewhat.
Peel the yams, chop them into large pieces and place them into a large bowl with the butter, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until very smooth. Alternatively, put the yams through a potato ricer and then mix with the butter, salt and pepper.
Place the fufu into a large serving bowl. Wet your hands with water, form into a large ball and serve.
Fufu is my father favourite food. It apears that when I was a kind I used to like it and I was eager to eat it.
Fufu can be white or yellow it depends on how it's cooked. It's a bit similar as concept to Polenta. the day i stopped altogether eatoing either fufu or polenta was when some years ago, while I was 11, If my memory has not left me for a trip, that i run aound town in a freezing winter day of December. Remember not feeling weel the following day after eating polenta, and from then i accused fufu and its sister polenta for being responsible for that.
