Mbanga & Attieke

Mbanga is palm nut cream stew/soup and Attieke a sort of couscous made from cassava. I was introduced to this delightful combination by a friend whose West African ex-husband taught her how to make them.

To make the attieke:

You can buy attieke at African grocery stores. It comes in a box or bag and you just steam it to cook it. It should be fluffy and sort of like couscous.
