Ingredients

• 1 cup Cassava flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 cups Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the water and stir to dissolve.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cassava flour to the pot while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula. This helps to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 3

Continue stirring the mixture until the cassava flour is fully absorbed and starts to form a smooth, stretchy dough-like consistency.

Step 4

Add the coconut flour to the mixture and stir well to incorporate. This adds extra richness and a slightly nutty flavor to the eba.

Step 5

Keep stirring the eba over low heat for about 2-3 minutes to ensure the coconut flour is well cooked and the mixture is smooth and pliable.

Step 6

Once the eba reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat and shape it into balls or your preferred shape using a spatula or your hands, depending on preference.

Step 7

Transfer the paleo eba to a serving plate, allowing it to cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve with your choice of Paleo-friendly stew or soup, such as a hearty vegetable soup, meat stew, or seafood sauce.
