Filipino Cassava Suman for #FruitsandVeggiesMonday

As I have mentioned in my previous post, we have a plenty of cassava. We were a bit tired of just the boiled cassava, so we made cassava suman out of it.

Cassava suman is a native Filipino rice cake made of grated cassava, brown sugar, and coconut milk.

We prepared almost everything from the scratch.

Procedure:
● Peel the cassava and grate it.

● Scoop a cup of grated cassava and squeeze the sap to remove the bitter taste, using a clean cloth.

● Prepare the fillings. Divide the grated cassava into two. Using the half of the grated cassava, mix the sugar and coconut milk until the ingredients are well incorporated.

● Cook the fillings while stirring it.
● Prepare the banana leaves for the wrapper. Heat it up so that it would not break easily.

● Scoop about 1/4 cup of the grated cassava and scoop another 1/4 cup of the cooked fillings.

● Mold the mixture so that it appears to be cylindrical. Roll the banana leaf to wrap the mixture.

● Steam the wrapped cassava mixture until the texture becomes firm.

● Remove from the steamer and let it cool down.
● Serve and enjoy!
