Experience the authentic taste of Côte d'Ivoire with our premium Frozen Attiéké (pronounced ah-tyeh-keh). Also known as Acheke or Cassava Couscous, Attiéké is a beloved and essential side dish across West Africa

Made from fermented cassava, our Attiéké has a light, fluffy, and slightly tangy flavour that sets it apart from regular couscous or rice. This 2.5lb package is prepared for your convenience: it's already grated, fermented, and steamed, meaning it is perfectly cooked and ready to heat. It's the simplest way to enjoy this West African staple without the lengthy, traditional preparation time.

Why Choose Frozen Attiéké?

  • Authentic Flavour: The fermentation process gives Attiéké its signature sour and appealing tang.

  • Ready in Minutes: Simply steam the frozen product briefly until hot and fluffy.

  • Naturally Gluten-Free: A great, wholesome alternative to wheat-based grains.

Culinary Pairings

Attiéké is traditionally the centerpiece of the meal, served as a base for hearty toppings. It pairs wonderfully with:

  • Grilled or Fried Fish (Garba): The most popular Ivorian street food combination.

  • Chicken or Meat Stews: Perfect for soaking up rich sauces and gravies.

  • Fresh Vegetables: Garnish with sliced onions, chopped tomatoes, and a spicy pepper sauce.

Preparation Instructions

Storage: Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F). To Prepare: Place the desired amount of frozen Attiéké in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes until it is hot, light, and fluffy like cooked couscous. Use a fork to gently fluff before serving.
