Peel the cassava and estimate about half a pound for two servings.

Grate the cassava using a traditional long grater for a fine texture, being careful to avoid injury.

Prepare the South American sapote, noting that it can be substituted with mango or other fresh fruits if unavailable.

In a pot, add 2 cups of coconut milk.

Add a pinch of salt, a bay leaf, a piece of cinnamon stick, 3 whole cloves, and grated nutmeg to the coconut milk.

Stir in the grated cassava and a couple of dashes of angostura aromatic bitters.

Lower the heat and allow the mixture to cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

After about 8 minutes, if the porridge is too thick, add another cup of water and mix well.

To make a compote with the sapote, combine 1/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the sapote in a separate pan.

Add a couple dashes of angostura orange bitters to the sapote mixture and cook until it starts to reduce.

Serve the porridge in a bowl and top with the sapote compote.
