Ingredients

  • 2 cups Lamb Curry
  • 1 loaf Gluten-Free Bread Loaf
  • 2 cups Cassava Flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1To prepare a Cassava bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of Cassava Flour, 1 cup of Water, and 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil. Mix thoroughly with your hands until a cohesive dough forms, then press the dough into a sturdy bowl shape, approximately 15.24 cm (15 cm) in diameter and 7.62 cm (7.5 cm) deep, on a baking sheet.
  2. 2If you prepared the Cassava bowl: Preheat your oven to 175°C. Bake the cassava bowl for 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the bowl feels firm to the touch. Let it cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
  3. 3Alternatively, if using the Gluten-Free Bread Loaf: Carefully cut a square or circular opening on the top surface of the 1 loaf of Gluten-Free Bread Loaf, about 10.16 cm (10 cm) in diameter. Using a spoon or your hands, gently hollow out the soft center of the loaf, leaving a 2.54 cm (2.5 cm) thick wall around the edges and bottom.
  4. 4Carefully spoon the 2 cups of Lamb Curry into the prepared cassava bowl or the hollowed-out Gluten-Free Bread Loaf.
  5. 5Serve the Bunny Chow immediately.
