Tompe

Piutu, also known as piyutu, pinutu, or putu, is a traditional Filipino dish of the Tausug people and Sama people of the Philippines and the east coast of Sabah. It is made from steamed cassava (panggi) that is mashed and shaped into cylinders or disks. They were traditionally wrapped in banana or palm leaves, but are commonly sold wrapped in clear plastic today. It is typically torn or cut into small disks for eating. It is not flavored and thus need to be eaten with another accompanying dish, usually seafood. The most popular accompaniments include Agal-agal, kima, kinilau, piyalam, and siyagul. It serves as a replacement for rice, after the introduction of cassava to the Philippines from South America by the Spanish during the colonial period.
