One of the foods that has been prepared for many years in the world is casabe. This food is made from cassavas that are a healthy source of starch. Preparing it at home is simple and any one can learn how to do it. Commercial production has also began due to increased demand for the delicacy.
This delicacy can be eaten at different times of the day. In the morning during breakfast or at day time as lunch. The evening meal can also include it as part of the food eaten. It can be taken as a heavy meal or a light one.
Before beginning preparation, one should ensure that the right ingredients are available in the correct quality and quantity. Quantity needed will depend on the number of people to be served and also the amount of food each person is likely to consume. Having all the components at one place makes the preparation procedure more enjoyable and faster.
The two most important constituents are cassavas and some salt to add taste. Kitchen utensils that will be used are a cooking utensil, a turner, a grater and a clean cloth. The cassava is bought from the nearest grocery shop. Some people may want to store some cassava for future use. This is done by freezing it or keeping it under refrigeration. Freezing preserves the food for several months while refrigeration does so for a few days. Cassava that is obtained directly from the farm is the best for cooking. It will give best results.
Good quality cassava will have a fresh smell when cut and the solid part concealed inside is white in color without any brown spots. To prepare it, wash with clean water to remove any dirt on the outside. The next step is to peel it by cutting off the tapering ends and making transverse cuts to end up with pieces which are of manageable size. Each piece is placed on a board with the cut end on the flat cutting surface. With a sharp knife, the outside covering is peeled off. The core is also removed after cutting the piece into four longitudinal portions. At this point, the pieces are washed and stored for future use or grated before cooking.
When shredding, the smallest possible pieces of the cassava should be produced. They are then mixed evenly with some salt to enhance the taste. If one is on a salt restricted diet, then no salt is added. Extra water is removed from the cassava using a clean cloth in a wring like manner.
A cooking utensil is placed on fire until it heats up. The prepared cassava is spread on the hot utensil using a spoon to achieve even thickness. The heat will cook the underside and when it is ready it will change color to golden. A turner should be used to flip over the cooking cassava as a whole so that both sides cook adequately.
Casabe is a nutritious starch dish that is served while still warm or allowed to cool and stored for later consumption. It is easy to prepare requiring few ingredients and cooking utensils. With frequent practice, one can have it ready in less than twenty five minutes.
