Farine is a dry, coarse meal made by grating cassava, squeezing out the juice, and toasting it on a big iron plate until dry. It's a traditional food handed down by the Kalinago, the Indigenous people of the Caribbean, and Dominica still has a territory where Kalinago people live. It's eaten with milk and sugar or alongside fish dishes.
Sprinkle the cassava flour with 3 tbsp water and rub with your fingers into coarse grains.
Heat a heavy frying pan over medium-low heat and add the flour.
Toast for 20 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, until lightly colored and dry.
Add the coconut and salt, toast another 3 minutes, and cool.
Serve in bowls, with milk and sugar if you like.
