Ingredients

2 large Green plantains
1 cup Cassava flour
1 large Onion
2 medium Tomato
1 large Pepper
to taste Salt
1/4 cup Vegetable oil

Method

Peel the plantains and cut them into 1-inch slices, then soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add the plantain slices and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the plantains from the oil and drain on paper towels, then set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the cassava flour and a pinch of salt, then gradually add in water, stirring with a wooden spoon, until a smooth dough forms.
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes pliable and smooth, then divide it into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Flatten each ball into a disk shape, about 1/2 inch thick, then cook the foutou in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes per side.
