\"Fried<\/a>If you’ve never heard of yucca before, you heard about it here first! Also known as cassava<\/strong> or manioc<\/strong>, yucca is a tuberous, hardy and starchy root found in tropical climes such as Africa, Southeast Asia, southern China and the Caribbean, but also known to be a staple food consumed by the Native Americans and pre-Columbian people hundreds of years ago. You may be most familiar with the flour- also known as tapioca<\/em>, which is made from its roots.<\/p>\n

It’s also good for you- its high in calcium, phosphorus and vitamin C.<\/p>\n

I usually make yucca mashed like potatoes with only the addition of  butter<\/a> and salt. It has such a creamy flavor, you might even prefer it over mashed potatoes like I do.  I recently decided to make fried yucca, a decision I was happy about. It was so delicious and even satiated that craving for french fries! <\/p>\n

\"Yucca\/Cassava\/Manioc\"Fried Yucca<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 4<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 long yucca root<\/p>\n

4 Tb. extra virgin olive oil<\/a><\/p>\n

salt, to taste<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boil yucca in a large pot of water for approximately 45 minutes, or until very soft. Poke with a sharp knife to make sure it’s thoroughly soft.<\/li>\n
  2. Allow to cool then remove thick outer skin as well as thin, stringy cord in the middle.<\/li>\n
  3. Roughly chop into semi-thick pieces.<\/li>\n
  4. Heat olive oil<\/a> in a large saut\u00e9 pan. When oil is hot, add the yuca pieces and salt. Saut\u00e9 until brown on one side, approximately 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n
  5. Turn each piece over carefully, using a fork or even a fish spatula. Heat the other sides for an additional 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. Place on a plate with paper towels to absorb the extra oil, if any.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Fried<\/a><\/p>\n

    Enjoy as a side dish to fish, meat<\/a> or as a stand-alone snack.<\/p>\n
