Ingredients used in Steamed Manioc (cassava) and plantain

Method:

• Cut the manioc root (cassava) into large (10 cm long) chunks, then peel, making sure to remove the inner skin (just under the thick brown outer skin).
• Using a large knife, split the chunks lengthwise into halves, or quarters for very big pieces.
• Cut the plantains into three equal pieces, and peel (Use a knife to get the peel off. Alternately, you can steam the plantain then remove the peel).
• Add the manioc and plantain to a large pot in a steamer basket, or directly on the bottom of the pot.
• Add water in the pot, and bring to a medium simmer. Cover and steam for 40 minutes, remove and pile on a platter.

Goes well with anything that you would normally serve potatoes.
