How To Cook Yuca Recipe
Using a sharp knife, cut the yuca into manageable sizes and carefully cut away the outer skin of the yuca root. The skin is inedible and should be discarded.
Place yuca pieces into a pot of water and bring to a boil. Yuca should never be eaten uncooked.
Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until yuca root can be pierced easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
Yuca pieces should not be mushy. Drain yuca and cool with water.
Remove fibrous stem from center of root and cut into 1 inch chunks.
Heat oil in a skillet.
Add garlic and onion and let simmer for a several minutes.
Add red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt to taste.
Add yuca.
Mix and allow all to simmer for 5 minutes. Give the yuca an occasional stir. Add a bit of water if needed, but not too much.
Remove from heat and add lemon juice and zest.
And that's it!
Yucca is an excellent substitute for potato. It goes great with any meat entree, and makes a great vegetarian meal when paired with stuffed peppers and a crisp green salad.
