Cassava also called Yuca Root is a starchy root that’s as easy to prepare as a potato. You do need to peal the skin and then your ready to boil, bake, or maybe fry cassava.
I cubed my pealed cassava covered them with some water and a little Kosher Salt in a covered pan for an hour in a 375 degree oven till fork tender.
I blended the cassava in a corn soup I was making. The cassava made the soup very creamy without adding cream.
