Bammy (Cassava Flatbread)

Bammy is a traditional Jamaican flatbread made from cassava, offering a gluten-free and vegan option that is both delicious and versatile. It is cherished in Jamaican cuisine for its delightful contrast of a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Preparing Bammy involves grating cassava, extracting its liquid, and mixing the dried cassava with coconut milk to form patties. These patties are then fried until they achieve a golden brown color. Enjoy Bammy as a side dish or enhance it with savory toppings such as fish or avocado to bring a unique element to any meal.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cassava, grated
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Peel the cassava and grate it finely. Use a clean towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cassava.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dried grated cassava with coconut milk and salt until it forms a thick, cohesive batter.
3. Divide the batter into equal portions and shape each into a flat, round patty.
4. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the patties in the pan and fry until they are golden brown on both sides, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the cooked Bammy to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
