Cassava leaf comes from the leaves of cassava, which was discussed earlier. The leaves are washed and beaten in a mortar with pepper and unions. Then, it is boiled with beef or chicken until it is well done. Just before all of the water dries in the pot, palm oil is added to it, and it is allowed to simmer. It is then eaten with rice.
Palm butter comes from palm nuts.
The palm nuts are first boiled, then crushed until the fibers are removed from the nuts. Then, hot water is poured on the crushed nuts and fibers, so that the sauce and the oil can be removed. After the fiber is filtered from the oil and the sauce, the sauce is poured in a pot, and beef or chicken, including onions, pepper, salt, are added to the pot, and allowed to cook until it is done. In the indigenous society, the fibers are kept to light firewood for cooking, and the nuts are stored so that palm kernel oil can be manufactured from them. Almost all the foods discussed can be purchased in African, Korean, and West Indian stores, in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
