Ingredients
- Cassava tubers, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 lb goat, chicken, or beef, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 large onion, neatly chopped
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 habanero peppers, neatly chopped
- 3 tablespoons salt, or to taste
- 3 beef bouillon cubes, crushed
- 3 lb raw shrimp
- 4 whole okra pods, finely chopped
Method
- Rinse the cassava chunks, then boil in a saucepan of water for 20 minutes. Drain and cool.
- If desired, slice the boiled cassava into smaller chunks.
- Mash the cassava in a mortar until it begins to form a sticky dough. Occasionally, you can moisten the pestle with a little water if necessary.
- When the desired consistency is reached, mould the dough into nicely shaped balls, and set them aside.
- Combine the meat, onions, bay leaves, and habanero pepper in a large dutch oven. Add a reasonable amount of water and season with a generous pinch of salt and crushed bouillon cubes.
- Cover the pot and boil for about 30 minutes until the meat becomes tender.
- Add the shrimp and okra to the soup. Stir and simmer for another 10 minutes over medium heat.
- Serve the soup with the prepared dumboy.
