ABACHA is an eastern Nigerian dish and it’s gotten from cassava. ABACHA also known as African salad or Cassava salad it's made from dried shredded cassava.
MY EASIEST METHOD OF PREPARING ABACHA .
INGREDIENT:
1. Abacha
2. Red palm oil
3. Knorr maggi cube
4. Akanwu (potash)
5. Ground crayfish
6. Shredded onions
7. Shredded garden egg leaf
8. Ogiri
9. Ugba/ ukpaka
10. Eghuru
11. Salt (to taste)
12. Pepper (to taste)
13. Fried fish
1. Put the abacha in a bowl and pour warm water (into the bowl) until the abacha is completely immersed then allow it to soak for about 5 minutes or until it’s soft. Pour the bowl content in a colander and set aside to drain.
2. Pour red palm oil in a pot, dissolve the akanwu(potash) in little water and pour into oil then add maggi, crayfish, onion, ogiri, ugba, eghuru, mix properly and then heat (with low heat) for 2-3minutes.
3. After heating, pour soft abacha into the mixture and stir properly to ensure even distribution of the mixture. Then add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Dish the abacha in a plate, sprinkle the garden egg leaf on the abacha and finally put the fried fish on it.
