Garri is too much of a versatile bad bitch for y’all to limit to eba. I’m sure it feels insulted. These are eight other recipes you can make with garri. Number four is my favourite. 

Garri chocolate truffle

Before you say Zikoko has come again with their weird food recommendations, garri chocolate truffle is actually quite good. I wish I could buy it for you to prove my point but you can make it at home any day you have the chance. It’s not easy to make sha.

Garri salad 

Garri salad is more interesting than your regular, basic tasting vegetable salad. Just add water to your garri to soften it, then pour over any salad mix, stir together and you’re good to go.

Instead of eating jollof rice on Sunday, eat jollof garri AKA Garri Fotor. I can almost promise there’s no difference… except the sardine. I know we have beef with Ghanaians, but we have to thank them for this recipe.
