Prepare Cassava and Plantains: Start by peeling the cassava and green plantains. Chop them into small pieces for easier blending.
Blend: Place the chopped cassava, plantains, and about 2 cups of water into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Cook Fufu: Transfer the blended mixture to a microwave-safe dish and cover it. Microwave on high for 7 minutes; stir and microwave for an additional minute if necessary.
Knead: Allow the fufu mixture to cool slightly and knead it with wet hands until it reaches a smooth and elastic consistency.
Prepare Soup: In a separate pot, cook the okra with your choice of protein in a spiced broth until everything is tender.
Serve: Dish out the fufu and pair it with the hot okra soup; garnish with herbs if desired.
