Yucca Root
Yucca root, also known as cassava root, is a staple crop that supports hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Yucca root looks like a cross between a potato and sweet potato in many ways, as a long, dark brown tuber.
Ingredients
2 pounds yucca, peeled and sliced lengthwise
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup olive oil
½ onion, diced or bell pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Place yucca into a pot and fill with enough water to cover.
Stir in salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain; place yucca on a serving plate.
Meanwhile, place olive oil, onion or bell pepper, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan.
Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Pour the hot olive oil mixture over the yucca. Enjoy!
