yuca frita (cassava or yucca fries)

 

yuca-frita-sixWho knew you could make fries out of yucca? And they are delish! The fries are made with the cassava root which is a plant native to South America.
yuca-frita-fiveThe Yucca has become a well known vegetable here in the states, you can find it almost everywhere and people can prepare  different recipes with it.  A great way to  prepare this starchy vegetable is boiled. We boil the Yucca and then we make a vinaigrette dressing  with onions, olive oil and white vinegar to drizzle on top.  We also like it fried; and I’m going to show you  today how to make this scrumptious alternative to French fries.yuca-frita-threeyuca-frita-fourYou have to peel and boil the yucca before frying.yuca-frita-oneI like to cut the yucca and remove the inner core  before frying it.

How do you prepare yucca?

Love,
