Wash the malanga to get rid of dirt. Peel the vegetable to remove its skin.
Cut the malanga into equal-sized chunks.
In a large pot, pour water and place it over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil.
Once the water starts to boil, add malanga chunks and boil them for about 25 minutes or until they are tender.
Once cooked, drain the malanga and run cold water over them.
Transfer them to a large bowl.
Add vegan butter and salt. Using a potato masher, mash the malanga so that the vegan butter is fully combined, and you get a sticky dough.
Using your palms, shape the dough into small equal sized balls and serve these with your favorite stew. Enjoy!
