How to make Coo coo?

Coo is very easy to make it would take you ten minutes to preheat and twenty minutes to cook. that is a total of 30mins of work. Below are some Ingredients as well as some instructions to follow, that should teach you how to make Coo coo.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ¼ cup diced onions
• ½ teaspoon minced thyme
• ¼ cup cut up red bell pepper optional
• 2 1/2 cups warm water or more
• 1 cup coconut milk replace with broth
• 1/2 teaspoon salt more adjust to taste
• 1 cup sliced okra(frozen)
• 2 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

• In a medium-sized saucepan, sauté the oil, onions, garlic, and thyme for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burns.
• Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the okra and red bell pepper, followed by about 2 cups warm water and coconut milk. Get it to a boil.
• If you find your vegetables crunchy, you should remove any or all of them at this stage and set them aside.
• Stir in the cornmeal gradually until you've added all of it to the pot, a little bit at a time, and keep stirring with a whisk to prevent lumps. To avoid burns, you will need to withdraw the saucepan from the fire when attempting to remove the lumps.
• Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened.
• Then pour in the remaining boiling water, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes or so. Some vegetables that were set aside should be returned. Continue whisking until the mixture reaches a cornmeal consistency, adding more water if necessary. Since I like mine soft, I normally use around 3 1/2 cups water in total.
• Turn the heat off. Scoop out the dough and roll it into a ball in a wet tub. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before flipping it upside down onto a tray. Heat the dish before serving.
