Have any of you used yucca in any preparations before? I'm trying to explore the uses of different ethnic vegetables. Right now I'm interested in Latin American, Mexican, and Cuban style vegetables and starches. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Chef Julie! I will try these ideas out pretty soon. This is a good starting point. If you or anybody has more ideas i'm all ears.

Make yucca fries by steaming the peeled root until tender. Cut into fry shapes, discarding the tough part, and deep-fry until crispy in olive oil. Oh-so-buttery!

Thanks for the ideas guys and gals. I tried in a simple way for the first time to get the feel of working with it(yucca). I will try these others as soon as I'm able to.
