How do you cook or serve yucca root?
A friend gave me a polished yucca root that she had no idea how to cook or eat … I do not! All experiences, recipes, and opinions are welcome.
You can do a lot with yucca. Boil some chicken stock, or cut and fry them in a pan with garlic until brown, or add to vegetable soup. (My favorite) I live in the Midwest, wishing I had some yucca here nearby. I miss it.
