Attiéké Cassava Couscous

Attiéké Cassava Couscous brings a gently tangy, fermented note that pairs beautifully with nutty peanuts, aromatic onion, and a hint of sesame. Light, fluffy grains soak up flavors while staying gluten-free, making it a vibrant side for grilled fish, stews, or spicy mains at weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Attiéké Cassava Couscous
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery; cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, sesame seeds, bay leaf, and salt, stirring often until the vegetables are tender and the seeds and peanuts are toasted; add the attieke, stirring constantly. Pour the water evenly over the entire skillet.

  2. 2

    Cover the skillet; reduce the heat to medium. Steam the attieke until it is moist and heated through, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Uncover the skillet; fold the attieke with a spatula. Top with the cilantro.
