About African Salad

West African dish made from boiled, shredded and dried cassava. It can be taken as a snack or as a main meal

Abacha is a type of food originating with the Igbos in the southeastern part of Nigeria. Abacha is a product of cassava tubers. When the processing of it is done from scratch, harvested cassava is obtained, peeled, washed, cooked and sliced into desired sizes or shapes. It is soaked for a day. It could be prepared instantly as abacha or sun-dried for future use. Shredded dried cassava first needs to be softened by soaking in boiled water and covered up for a few minutes.
