📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Gozo is the staple of the Central African Republic: cassava is soaked, dried, ground into flour, and worked stiff in boiling water. Chewy and faintly sour, it's torn by hand and dipped in ngunza or meat and fish sauces.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Central African kitchen, white flour is worked with a wooden spoon in a big pot and the round mass is set on a leaf.
