Description
Abacha, also known as African Salad, is a traditional Nigerian dish made from cassava, a starchy root vegetable. The cassava is first boiled until tender, then shredded into thin strips and allowed to dry in the sun. Once dried, the cassava is then soaked in water until it becomes soft and pliable. The softened cassava is then mixed with a variety of ingredients such as palm oil, ground crayfish, onions, utazi leaves, and sometimes vegetables like tomatoes and bell peppers, to create a flavorful and satisfying dish.
