About Cooked Safou (Atanga)
Camerdish presents safou, also called atanga or African pear, with several simple cooking methods. This version selects the shallow-water preparation, which the author labels steaming.
A little optional salt supplies the seasoning in this version, keeping attention on the safou. The fruit cooks with water that does not submerge it.
The preparation keeps the fruit intact apart from optional surface scores. Camerdish suggests eating it alone or with accompaniments such as cassava, which is the optional serving selected here.
