Ingredients:

  • 8 oz pork
  • 8 cups cassava meal

Directions:

  1. Soak the dried beef in water to cover for 4-6 hours to draw out the salt, changing the water several times. Drain and mop dry. Cut into cubes about 1 inch across.
  2. Cut the pork in small dice. Cook them in a large frying pan over low heat until the fat runs. Add the beef and cook until golden brown. Remove the pork and beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Using the same fat, cook the onions until soft and golden.
  3. Combine the meat and onions and pound them into a mortar, to break up the meat shreds. Or use a food processor, but don't overdo it.
  4. Mix in the cassava meal gradually, to make a dense, smooth puree. Return to the frying pan and heat through, stirring. Season to taste. Serve hot with boiled rice.
