Yucca is Yumma!
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
My friend Maria from Colombia has been teaching me a little about food from her country. She’s recently been making some incredible dishes with yucca. I had heard of and seen yucca in the store, but I had no idea how to cook with it.
Maria made a great side dish with “mashed” yucca the other day. We served it with some pork chops with Mumbo Jumbo — EVERYDAY and a thinly sliced green tomato…yum!
Here’s the “Mashed Yucca” recipe:
Instructions:
- Cut open yucca and remove “core”.
- Chop into small pieces and boil until tender (20 to 30 min.).
- In a separate dish mix olive oil, chopped tomato, diced onion, and chopped green onion (this is called Hogao and is pronounced “O-Gow”).
- In yet a separate pan (we like to wash dishes) scramble 1 egg and mix in Hogao.
- Add Hogao and egg mixture to yucca and sprinkle in Mumbo Jumbo — MESA seasoning.
- Stir yucca until you have a nice mashed consistency….Kapow!
