Description

Fried yuca is a creative alternative to French fries. It is commonly prepared to accompany a barbecue, broiled chicken, or just on its own. The ingredients are simple and quantities will depend on how many people you want to surprise with this original dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Yuca Or Cassava Root
  • Vegetable Oil, Enough For Frying
  • Salt To Taste

Preparation

Cut the ends off of the yuca. Then cut each root in half and peel carefully by setting the cut side down on a chopping board and slicing downward with a knife to cut off the bark. Wash well and set aside.

In a large pot or saucepan add enough water to fully cover the yuca that will be cooked, add some salt and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the yuca and let it cook for approximately 30 minutes. Once cooked, drain the yuca and let it sit to cool and dry.

Once cooled, pat dry if needed, remove the fibrous ‘vein’ in the centre of the yuca and cut into fries.

In a saucepan or deep skillet heat the vegetable oil and fry the yuca in small batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, sprinkle with some salt and serve.
