Vegetable stir-fry with Attiéké

---

Attiéké is a specialty from the Ivory Coast. It's a side dish made from fermented cassava, similar to gari from Cameroon, but with significant differences in preparation and appearance.

At first glance, Attiéké looks like oriental couscous and is therefore sometimes called “Ivoirian couscous”

---

Unlike traditional/oriental couscous, attiéke has a slightly sour taste. This comes from the fermentation of cassava and gives attiéke a distinctive flavor. Attiéke can be prepared in the same way as couscous and served as a side dish with meat, fish, vegetables, etc.

When I first tried Attiéké, I was hooked. I love this side dish because of its slightly sour taste, which reminds me of Bobolo, its texture, and its easy preparation, which reminds me of couscous.

Today we are serving Attiéké's recipe as a side dish to a vegetable stir-fry.

Have fun cooking!
