Unripe plantain, milled and cooked down into a soft, springy swallow. Plantain fufu tastes faintly sweet and sits lighter than yam or cassava, which is why it has become the regular choice for people who eat swallow often.
Its colour is darker than poundo yam and its texture a little more elastic. There is no pepper in the swallow itself, so pair it with whatever soup you like: egusi, ogbono, okro, oha, afang or bitterleaf, and let the pot bring the heat.
Order online for pickup or delivery anywhere in Kigali, or pull up a chair at the Jollof Bistro restaurant in Remera and eat it hot.
