Akassa
Togolese akassa is a firm fermented corn dumpling with a clean tang and smooth, sliceable body, paired with pepper sauce, fish stew, or okra soup as a filling staple.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Whisk fermented corn dough with cool water until smooth and pourable.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring steadily as it thickens into a glossy paste.
Beat in a little cassava starch and salt for a firm, elastic texture.
Spoon the hot paste into banana leaves or small bowls and wrap tightly.
Let the akassa set until sliceable, then serve with pepper sauce and fish.
