Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 4 medium
- sized russet potatoes
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, and green beans)
- 2 tablespoons Suya spice mix
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Clean and dry the cauliflower, then slice it into 1 inch thick steaks. In a bowl, mix the Suya spice mix with vegetable oil to create a paste. Brush this mixture onto both sides of the cauliflower steaks. Place the seasoned cauliflower steaks on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25 30 minutes or until tender and golden brown. While the cauliflower is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes into 1 inch pieces. Boil them in water with salt until fork tender. Drain and set aside. In a separate pot, steam the mixed vegetables until softened. Blend them into a puree using an immersion blender or food processor. Season to taste. Prepare Eba by mixing Cassava flour with water and boiling until it forms a dough like consistency. Knead and shape into balls or rolls.
