👨🍳 步驟
- 1
If using fresh cassava leaves, wash them thoroughly and pound them until they form a smooth paste. If using frozen, thaw and drain them. If using pre-pounded cassava leaves, proceed to the next step.
💡 專業提示: Pounding cassava leaves can be done using a mortar and pestle or a food processor. - 2
Heat the palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.

Add the flaked smoked fish, pounded cassava leaves, fish stock (or water), salt, optional stock cube, and optional crayfish powder. If using, add the minced Scotch bonnet pepper for heat.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the smoked fish is well cleaned and deboned to avoid any bones in the final dish. - 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the cassava leaves are tender and the oil has risen to the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
💡 專業提示: The longer it simmers, the more the flavors meld and the more tender the cassava leaves become. - 6
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the saka saka is too thick, add a little more stock or water. If it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.
💡 專業提示: The consistency should be thick but spoonable. - 7
Serve hot, traditionally with boiled rice, fufu, or pounded yam.
💡 專業提示: Saka Saka is often served as a main dish.
