Instructions:

For the Fufu:

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
2. In a separate bowl, mix cassava flour and plantain flour together.
3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
4. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot.
5. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fufu is smooth and stretchy.
6. Remove from heat and set aside.

For the Goat Light Soup:

1. In a large pot, heat palm oil over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
3. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and Scotch bonnet peppers. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Add the goat meat to the pot and brown on all sides.
6. Pour enough water to cover the meat, then add dried thyme, rosemary, ground crayfish (if using), salt, and pepper.
7. Cover the pot and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed.
8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
9. Serve the hot fufu with the goat light soup poured over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander if desired.
