African Salad (Abacha)


The fresh Abacha (African salad is a by-product of cassava), there are a lot of processes involved with obtaining the fresh abacha that is used in preparing the African salad that we all know.



.....most rural dwellers are very familiar with the whole processes involved!

The first thing to do (if you live in the village or own a farm) is to obtain cassava tubers, wash it thoroughly and boil it, along with water for twenty to thirty minutes, then pill to remove the brown outer layer and cut to tiny bits.
The sliced cassava is then soaked in water for 48 hours. The last thing to do would be to wash thoroughly with clean water then sun-dry and store in an airtight seal. Dried cassava chips can last more than a year if stored in an air tight dry environment.
But if you live in developed cities, you probably wouldn't need to go through this cumbersome and tiresome procedure, just buy all the ingredients in the market.



Raw African Salad (abacha) can also be prepared to raw state by cooking an uprooted cassava root, slice it into raw long flakes, soak it in water for about 48 hours, preferably in a river or stream. Then after washing it, you now have the raw abacha flakes.
