Fresh yuca is amazing immediately after cooking, leftover yuca is never the same reheating though so we always fry it and it is wonderful.

@barbararey4337 2 года назад

I'm Cuban so we eat it with mojo (olive oil and garlic) just dip and eat. These are sooo much crunchier than French fries.

@markbiggs7689 2 года назад

Thanks for this! I grow Cassava, but didn't really know how to use it in recipes. Fried looks delicious! Actually it makes a nice ornamental plant in the landscape. The slightest breeze causes the leaves to flutter. Also, visitors to my place frequently ask "What is that plant ?" Good conversation starter.

Careful it’s poisonous before cooking. The leaves, sap and stalk are very poisonous if I’m not mistaken.

Boiled yucca (you-ka) with bacon, pork, chorizos, sausages, onions & lots of garlic is awesome! Always make extra to make fried next day!!

@cgmm_twins 2 года назад

You are right about pronunciation. Yuca (with one "c") is pronounced "you-ka" and it is what they cooked here. Yucca (with 2 "c") is pronounced "yuh-ka" and it is an ornamental plant that is not related to the edible one. Yuca is known as Manihot esculenta (that's its scientific name) and yucca is actually a group of several species know by the scientific names Yucca gigantea, Y. filifera and others.

As a latin american woman I have to say that no salt is added to the yuca until it is soft. When it boils enough and softens, add the salt. If you add it before it does not soften enough later.

The lady doesn't know how to peel yuca. And you don't need to halve or devein before cooking. Just cut the yuca into large chunks, peel the easy and safe way, and boil the chunks with salt to taste. The chunks will separate into halves on their own when cooked. When it's cool enough to touch, devein if necessary (oftentimes the vein or core falls away during cooking). Also, there's no need for deep frying. I fry yuca with a little oil, and lots of white onion cut into thick slices, until the yuca is crispy and golden. The onion gives it a delicious flavor, and you can serve the yuca with the onions if you like.

Yuca contains naturally occurring cyanide that can cause paralysis and death. This should be addressed, as well as all the steps required to prepare it safely. This gross negligence is so disturbing.

Probably also because the ones sold here in the US are the sweeter kind. Cooking must remove the CN. Eating raw yuca is not a pleasant endeavor so I am sure most people won't try it...hopefully.

Yucca Cuban style: boil them just like she did, in a separate pot get vegetable or corn oil hot then pour it over a container with sliced onion, garlic, salt and vinegar (and or lime). That is the absolute greatest and most classic condiment for boiled or even fried yucca.

@asaldanapr 2 года назад

Peeling is easier if you cut a line vertically down just the hard peel,not the yuca, then the same way but horizontally every few inches. Just by scoring the peel you can put your pairing knife (or your thumb) between the hard peel and the yuca and separate them easily. Then just boil them in quarters and take the woody center off after boiling.

@joeygirl314 2 года назад

I’ve made fried Yuca with FROZEN Yuca many times and it turns out WONDERFULLY!! Very economical from the local Asian/Hispanic Farmer’s Market. Saves the peeling frustration…all you do is boil from frozen for about 25-30 minutes in salted water (I like to add sliced garlic, or garlic cloves, too), then drain/dry as shown. The center vein is MUCH easier to remove at this point, as OP stated! I DOUBLE FRY (first at 350 deg F for 4 min or so, then at 375 for a couple minutes) in peanut oil, to make them EXTRA CRISPY. TRY IT!!!
