Yuca Hervida (Boiled Yuca)
Report
Yuca hervida is the Spanish term for boiled yuca (cassava). It is a simple and traditional way to prepare yuca: cooking it in boiling water until it becomes tender.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds yuca roots
- 1 tablespoon salt
Instructions
- Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot over medium heat.
- While the water is heating, use a sharp knife to remove 1 to 2 inches of the woody stem from the yuca. Cut the remaining yuca into 3 to 4-inch pieces.
- Make a shallow cut, about 1 inch deep, along each yuca piece. Slide the knife under the peel to separate it from the flesh, cutting or pulling both the brown outer layer and the pinkish-white inner layer, leaving only the white flesh.
- Halve the yuca pieces lengthwise, then use the knife to carefully cut away the woody core. Cut each piece lengthwise into ¾-inch-thick wedges.
- Rinse the yuca well under running water. Once the water is boiling, add the yuca and salt. Cook, adjusting the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer, until the yuca is tender but still slightly firm to the bite, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well in a colander, and serve.
