Serve hot History of the recipeThe word fufú gets to us through the Ghana cook in Africa. During the pre-columbian period the Ashanti ethnic group prepared a food by boiling yams and cassava. When these vegetables are ground together, the food acquired a white color, named fufuo. But, when the Latin people tell fufú, they refer to the meal made with plantain. The plantains grown in Meridional Asia, but they arrived to Africa in thirteen century and then to America around 1516, from The Canarias. At the same time the banana reaches the Americas, the first boatloads of slaves were coming. The story tells at the time of British occupation in Cuba the slaves only received for meal boiled and mashed plantain. The ration was distributed between slaves while screaming the voice: food, food!, and since the slaves understood fu fu, this term was plated in the history forever. The plantain fufú is well known in Cuba by many different names. In Havana we used to call it fufú, machuquillo or matajíbaro; in the East of Cuba is called mofongo or mangú. In some places of Caribbean is also called Mogo. Similar recipes
