Attiéké at the Afritibi Market
A Traditional and Versatile Food
Attiéké: A Culinary Specialty from Ivory Coast
Attiéké is a fermented cassava semolina originating from Ivory Coast. Highly appreciated throughout West Africa, it is often compared to couscous due to its light and granular texture.
Rich in carbohydrates, easy to digest, and highly versatile, attiéké pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes featuring meat, fish, or vegetables. Its subtle flavor and ability to absorb the tastes of accompanying dishes make it an essential ingredient in Ivorian cuisine.
Varieties of Attiéké
Traditional Attiéké
Traditional attiéké is prepared through an artisanal process of fermenting and steaming cassava. It is known for its slightly tangy flavor and airy texture. Served with braised fish, spicy sauces, or sautéed vegetables, it makes for a simple yet refined dish.
Instant Attiéké
Instant attiéké is a pre-cooked version that allows for quick preparation. Simply add hot water and let it swell for a few minutes to achieve a perfect texture. This format is ideal for those who want to cook quickly while preserving the authentic taste.
Organic Attiéké
Some producers offer attiéké made from cassava grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This organic version retains all the nutritional benefits of cassava while ensuring environmentally friendly production.

Traditional Dishes with Attiéké
Attiéké with Braised Fish
Attiéké is often paired with braised fish, a highly popular specialty in Ivory Coast. The fish is typically marinated with spices and lemon, then grilled over a wood fire to achieve an irresistible smoky flavor. Served with a spicy tomato sauce and a few onion slices, this dish is rich in flavors and very nourishing.
Attiéké with Grébou Chicken
Grébou chicken is a typical Ivorian preparation where the chicken is fried until its skin becomes crispy. Served with attiéké and a spicy sauce made from tomatoes and chilies, this dish is loved for its combination of contrasting textures and flavors.
Attiéké with Vegetables and Avocado
Attiéké also pairs wonderfully with a fresh vegetable salad. Cucumber, tomato, avocado, and onion are often added to bring freshness and crunch. Drizzled with a bit of olive oil or red palm oil, this dish is perfect for a light and balanced meal.
