Cooking Instructions

  2. 2

    While boiling my meat I Thoroughly Wash my Bitter leaf then boil to get rid of as much bitterness as you can. There should be almost no hint of bitterness left in the leaves after this process.

    Boil the Cocoyam with the skin on. boil till tender, this should take roughly 15 minutes on high heat

    When they are soft, gently peel the skin off and pound till smooth in a mortar. Alternatively, chop them into small chunks and purée in your electric blender or food processor till smooth, then set aside…
