Cassava Tabbouleh with Radishes and Herbs

Serves 4 | Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 2 hours, 15 min

For generations, a large Lebanese population has made Côte d’Ivoire their home. Ivorians are very fond of dishes that come from the country of cedar trees. This tabbouleh, a combination of two iconic dishes—tabbouleh from Lebanon and attiéké from Côte d’Ivoire—is my way of paying homage to the cross-cultural sharing that makes Côte d’Ivoire so rich.

Instructions

  1. Steam the attiéké for 15 min in a steamer or heat in a microwave for 1- 2 min to reheat it. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Add the radishes, scallions, mint, and parsley.
  3. To make the dressing, mix the lemon juice, oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the tabbouleh and toss to combine.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately so the attiéké doesn’t get soggy.

Ingredients

  • 1 small ball (14 ounces/400 g) prepared attiéké (cassava couscous)
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch mint, chopped
  • 1 bunch parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

"Kacouchia’s book is replete with coconut milk and cacao, plantain and cassava, watermelon and mango, at least in part a capturing of her childhood memories: of her mother’s fragrant stews, of fried plantain on the beach after church."
The Guardian

"A rich tapestry of dishes perfect for the home cook. A true feast for the eyes,

I don’t know where to start as every recipe looks so inviting. Recipes straight forward and simple without unusual ingredients—I’m sure that this book will be a hit!
Update:

I’ve prepared the Red Cabbage with Okra and I must day that the veggies were a great combo but the dressing did not do a lot for me.

The chilled watermelon, tomato and mango soup was very nice. I would’ve appreciated a sugestion for a garnish—I added pumpkin seeds and sprouts—both added a nice crunch and flavor.

The rice with green lentils and onion was phenonemal. Perfect combo of flavors! Husband wanted it more saucy but I was happy with the dry and great flavors.

Editing my review to share more about the recipes I’ve made, see the bottom.

This is a good cookbook; I’ve made a couple of things from it that I really liked. I love using unusual (for me) ingredients and tasting new (to me) flavors. So I also love that this cookbook has more than just the usual recipes you see in cookbooks that focus on Africa (hummus, jollof rice, peanut stew, fried plantains).

These are in there but so are recipes from countries and cultures that aren’t usually represented in cookbooks about Africa, such as Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Angola, South Africa, Ethiopia, Somalia, Tonga. There are Eggplant and Plantain Stew, Potato and Olive Stew, Grilled Squash with Harissa, Vermicelli Rice with Spinach and Cashews, and more.

There are also some creative twists on foods that are traditionally made with animal products, and photos of most if not all the recipes.

Update 5/1/23

Things I’ve made:

Red Red, a Ghanaian stew made with black-eyed peas, tomatoes, hot peppers, and red palm oil. This is one of my favorites. It was spicy, full of umami, and rich.

Sautéed Spinach and Plantains. I’m convinced there’s a copy editing error and the amount of spinach should be 1.5 pounds, not 1.5 kilos (3 1/3 pounds). The latter is a ridiculous amount of spinach and the flavors balance out much better when it’ made with just 1.5 pounds. Made that way, it’s very very good.

Cauliflower Yassa with Olives — Our olives were weirdly sweetness, which kind of ruined it and made it too sugary. Also there’s too much onion for me, it was very sharp.

Potato Stew with Olives — Delicious, just cut the potatoes half the size she says to or smaller because on low heat they took a lot longer than the directions say to be done. This will work well with any good quality olives IMO, they don’t have to be green ones.

Egusi Stew —I ordered egusi from Amazon and it was a bit bitter; I’m not sure if it’s supposed to or if it was starting to go bad. If you want to try egusi I recommend buying it whole, then grinding, and freezing to store. However, as the internet will tell you, egusi can also be substituted with RAW pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and since for this recipe you have to get out the food processor anyway for other ingredients, it won’t even make extra dishes to grind those and use them. I’ll do that next time. This recipe was really different for me; I’ve never had anything like it. I liked it a lot and will probably make again but with raw pumpkin seeds.

Atakilt Wat (Ethiopian Cabbage, Potatoes and Carrots) — this was one of my favorites. I’ve had it at Ethiopian restaurants in the past and this version was just as tasty. I was worried that the flavors would be too subtle but they were perfect. Jut once again I recommend cutting the potatoes smaller than use says so that they will be ready before the cabbage is overcooked.

(By the way, for those of you who don’t want to damage the climate even more than we all already have, Amazon sells sustainable palm oil from Africa.)

Despite the few little mistakes I mentioned, this is a good cookbook and I’m glad I bought it. There are many recipes I still want to try. I’ll update this review if I make more.

This would be a great cookbook for a beginner cook!

The recipes are simple and straightforward, using accessible ingredients: Vinaigrette with balsamic vinegar, mustard, and raw diced vegetables; Tomato Sauce made with onions, garlic, chiles, and tomato paste; Crunchy "Spiced" Chickpeas tossed with curry powder then roasted; Plantain Chips tossed with paprika then oven-baked, Sweet Potato Fries tossed with garlic powder and paprika, then baked; Ginger-Carrot Soup made with garlic, ginger, carrots, cumin, and coconut milk; Vegetable Soup made with lentils, veggies, rosemary, and thyme; "Grilled" Squash tossed with harissa powder then baked (not grilled, somewhat confusingly); Potato, Pea, and Corn Mash made with only boiled potatoes, canned peas, canned corn, salt, and pepper. A few recipes, like for South African Bobotie, and Pilau Rice, seem to have a bit more complex flavors.

Most of the recipes and techniques are too simple for what I'm looking for in a cookbook, but it was an interesting read, and I will pass it on to a young cook in my life who will enjoy this!

This is a nice recipe book!

I wish there was more pictures, I like recipe books that include pictures for each recipe so I can see what they look like. There's a variety of recipes in this book from snacks to desserts and even drinks. This book covers a big breadth of African recipes and doesn't focus on just one countries. There's some delicious looking recipes that cover a variety of ways to make breads, plantains, and rice.

Overall an interesting find!
