Cassava Couscous (Attieke)

Ingredients

• vegetable oil (1 tablespoon)
• minced yellow onion (0.25 cup)
• minced carrot (0.25 cup)
• minced celery (0.25 cup)
• chopped peanuts (0.25 cup)
• black sesame seeds (2 tablespoons)
• bay leaf (1 )
• salt (0 )
• attieke (cassava couscous) (300 g)
• water (1 cup)
• chopped fresh cilantro (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts, sesame seeds, bay leaf, and salt, stirring often until vegetables are tender and seeds and peanuts have toasted; add attieke, stirring constantly. Pour water over entire skillet, distributing evenly.
2. Cover skillet; reduce heat to medium. Steam attieke until it is moist and heated all the way through, about 5 minutes.
3. Uncover skillet; fold attieke with a spatula. Do not stir, as this will mash attieke; use a folding maneuver to mix the ingredients from the bottom upwards and let attieke breathe to help water evaporate. Top with cilantro.
