Golden fried cassava with spicy bakkeljauw is the kind of Surinamese snack-meal that feels simple on paper but wildly satisfying once it lands on the table.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 25 min

Ingredients

Cassava – 1 kg
Salt cod – 500 g
Onion – 1
Garlic – 2 cloves
Tomatoes – 2
Tomato paste – 1 tbsp
Celery – 4 sprigs
Lime juice – 1 tbsp
Hot pepper – to taste
Sunflower oil – 3 tbsp plus frying oil
Salt – to taste

Method

Peel the cassava, cut it into thick batons and boil it until just tender, then let it steam dry and cool slightly. Fry the desalted salt cod with onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, celery and pepper until you have a loose, aromatic topping. Heat clean oil and fry the cassava in batches until the outside is crisp and the inside turns fluffy. Season the cassava lightly with salt. Pile the telo onto a plate and spoon the hot bakkeljauw over or alongside it, finishing with lime juice for freshness.
