Ingredients for this Cuban-Inspired Yuca Recipe
YUCA (about 1 lb.)
1 Lg ONION (diced)
5-10 cloves GARLIC (finely chopped)
OIL for sauteing the onion and garlic
RED PEPPER FLAKES to taste
2-3 Tbsp CUMIN
½ cup OLIVE OIL
juice of 1 LEMON and zest
SALT to taste
CUMIN SEEDS (1 tsp, optional)
…I’ve got lots of yuca, so in the video I’m doubling this recipe
How To Cook Yuca Recipe
Using a sharp knife, cut the yuca into manageable sizes and carefully cut away the outer skin of the yuca root. The skin is inedible and should be discarded.
Place yuca pieces into a pot of water and bring to a boil. Yuca should never be eaten uncooked.
Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until yuca root can be pierced easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
Yuca pieces should not be mushy. Drain yuca and cool with water.
Remove fibrous stem from center of root and cut into 1 inch chunks.
Heat oil in a skillet.
Add garlic and onion and let simmer for a several minutes.
Add red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt to taste.
Add yuca.
Mix and allow all to simmer for 5 minutes. Give the yuca an occasional stir. Add a bit of water if needed, but not too much.
Remove from heat and add lemon juice and zest.
And that's it!
Yucca is an excellent substitute for potato. It goes great with any meat entree, and makes a great vegetarian meal when paired with stuffed peppers and a crisp green salad.
Give this yuca recipe a try and let me know what you think, and bon appetit!

I love how you don't give an over the top and lengthy intro, or over explain each step as I have seen in other videos. This is awesome! Straight to the point and easy to follow. Thanks!
I am Nigerian and I enjoyed watching this video, we use cassava in different ways except this one, so today I tried this method and added some Nigerian spice and fish, oh my God it was unbelievably delicious, this is my new favorite food and I can't wait for my friends to try it out. Thanks Thanks!!!
orimolade ann well done sis
OA,
Did you cook the fish separately? I'm from Kenya and the good thing about this recipe is that you can use whatever spices you want. I think a major part of using this recipe is knowing how long you need to boil the yuca. I just cooked this recipe for the first time today (very early in the morning). So I'll get to taste it during lunch or dinner (depending on when I get time). That's when I'll really know how it works for me. I'm going to be eating the yuca with a beans, peas, potato and beef stew which I cooked separately. Normally, I would eat this stew with ugali, an East African maize meal staple (if you google "ugali" there are numerous links that show you how to cook it). Ugali is a starch that is eaten with all kinds of dishes in Kenya and neighboring countries. If this yuca recipe works I'll be really excited for I'll have an alternate way of eating so many dishes that I cook.
Recipe please 😁
I’m American born Haitian and I never appreciated this vegetable until I became a full blown adult. It sits well and is a great alternative for Rice.. I’m now growing some in my backyard 😊
I'll have to do this! People say when you try something new that you add years to your life! Thanks to you both!
I hope that's true :^)
Cassava is underrated, it’s the most delicious yummiest root crop and u can eat it even if just boiled it ,or substitute for ur rice.
I dont see the appeal noticing you are taking a risk by eating it all the time.
Whats the risk?
@@greg3498 maybe it's about the high calorie content of yuca and some anti nutrient.....it contains good fiber for gut but by processing it lessen the fiber....by heat vit c lessen already .minerals very minimal so its says when I read some nutritional value of yuca.But cooking it different way as vegetable or dessert the taste will be 👍.
Yes,it's so delicious.We boil,fry and make cakes out of cassava in Jamaica.One of my favourite root crops for sure.
better than french fries
I just bought some today. Thank you for this I will subscribe. Hope everyone having a blessed day and many more!!!💯🥰☺️
I enjoyed your video on yuca or cassava or tapioca as it is called in the South Pacific. I'm from Fiji and it is a staple food consumed daily. It is mostly boiled like you did and eaten with vegetables or meat and fish. It can be cooked in an earth oven, fried as some viewers mentioned, with spices like potato wedges or curried as is done in our Indian community. It can also be grated and cooked then made into a desert with coconut milk or it can be grated and Cooke as porridge with milk added or coconut milk. What we do here is put a stone in a wood fire and when it is re
Can you please add the missing ending to your sentence? And you do consume this daily?
OMG, when you responded to the "do a little dance" comment with "then I'd have to make a little love and get down tonight...sounds like a lotta work to me", I almost choked on my tea. You are really entertaining!
yeah...I was dating myself there
@@ChefBuckRecipes 🤣
Hahahha ikr
I loved that comment 😂😂
That’s from a song from KC and the sunshine band called get down tonight
Try to cook with coconut milk. Just boil the cassava and fresh coconut milk and add salt. Very tasty🤗😋😚
I'll try that.
And add some urine from a human female just a little sprinkle .
I'm going to have to do this tonight!
Thx I want to try it but not know how to use
Do I need to boil in water before coconut milk??? Or straight boil in coconut milk?
My husband was making a pasta dish the other day, and he told me he put in a Chef Buck amount of garlic! We love you and CG. Thanks for the videos!
if I make a dish and don't use a whole bulb of garlic, it feels weird :^)
Can't wait to try this! I so appreciate the variety of recipes on your channel Chef Buck and Camera Girl!
we love to shop for groceries at international markets, so we're always running into new things to try
Looks good!!! I’m trying it this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Boom, just seen this in a shop in my small town for the first time, I can not wait to try your recipe, Boom,Boom.
Thank you. Love the yucca you prepared that I can even taste and smell it!
Dug a huge cassava tuber out of my garden yesterday, and going to try your recipe tonight. First time Ive ever grown cassava. Looking forward to it. Thankyou.
I love yuca!! I will be cooking this real soon.
I appreciate you sharing this wonderful recipe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I will cook this soon👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Oh my, yum,yum. That looks so good and I am sure it's tasty as well. My mouth is watering!!
I definitely try that out , looks yummy 😋
Super Duper looking recipe! I'm cooking my first ever cassava root today and it will by your recipe!
Very helpful video - many thanks! I'm off to cook some cassava
Great introduction to Yucca and how to prepare them.
Looks great! And so does your kitchen. I love trying out new root veggies from the grocery and nearly always find a Caribbean recipe for em. Can't wait to try yours soon. Thanks for making your recipe vegan too!
Absolutely delicious!! 1st time I had it in my life. I always seen this veg in the market I was wondering what to do with it.
Blessings!! Will do this tonight with my family.
I am watching this as I am eating some, only boiled in salt water!! But will try your recipe!! This root is sooooo yum!!! And so filling..
I am eating this on the side with pan fried salmon and kale cooked in butter!!! So happy right now!!!
Thank you Buck for showing how to cook yuca/cassava. I bought a root of yuca today for the first time, and will try to see how it goes!
I cooked my first cassava tonight, lovely 🏴
Wooow😱😱😱😱!!!! This looks 😋 delicious definitely would try this recipe tomorrow. .. Thank you so much for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Man after my own heart: lots of onions, garlic and cumin. Why didn't I think of that? Gonna try this next time as well as the suggestion to cook it in coconut milk. Great job!
Thank you! I fell in love with yuca when I was in Cuba, and had to buy it when I saw it on sale here.
Now I know how to cook it!
Looks great, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing ^^ I made this and It tasted good to me.
I used to eat this in Brazil. it's delicious!
So did you quit eating it?
Yummy👍 Yes Please😋👏🙋 Love Yuca. My Cuban BFF turned me on to it over 30 yrs ago
You are so good at this. Fun to watch.
I grew up eating boiling yucca, after removing it from the water it was added nice amount of roasted onion , with either cheese, eggs , salami, jam, cod fish, meat, etc,. Also we peel it very differently; we add salt to the boiling water , so when it is tender does not need more salt.
I love cassava so much!
Hi, I’m from Brazil and I’ve been eating this since I was a kid. Love your video ❤ I also recommend boiling it and adding some butter, salt and pepper, or, after boiling just deep fry it like french fries , it’s delicious!
Definitely want to try this
I love Yuca! Great recipe!
Its my favourite food item... thanks bro...
Just did this and i want more,amazing!Thank you :)
I love your rich recipes cooking in a very simple way in a very homey kitchen without frills👍❤️🫶🏻🌲🇨🇦
Cooking and then frying, looks very good as well.
Awesome! thank you Chef Buck! ;D
Thank you for explaining and demonstrating the best method for removal of the interior stem. Others do not.
That looks great, i'll be trying this soon tomorrow.
Nothing better than the sound of a cold stovetop first starting up. Brings back some good memories.
Yucca con mojo is one of my favorite Cuban foods. None of that extra spice, just garlic and salt
Wow!!!! look so yummy! Thanks so much.
I just clicked because I wanted to confirm I was pronouncing Yuca correctly. But, I couldn't stop watching video it was so interesting and moved along fast enough for my short attention span. HA!
Well, with all the positive comments, I am definitely going to try yucca. I'll start a simplier dish. Hold the cumin til later. I so appreciate your simplified form of cooking in a modest kitchen. You prove we can prepare, cook, eat in modest surroundings. You are teaching an old dog new tricks. I dont have a CG, but I'll manage. A gal at church just lost lots of weight and recommended yucca, aloe and simple ancient foods she is using. Our forefathers were never fat. I'm looking forward to this new adventure in my old 79 year old body. Again, thanks for your commen sense basic recipes. Looks like fun!
It looks very testy yummy mouth-watering hehe
The amount of that cumin can kill a whole city with the smell 😲🤭
Cumin can smell/taste really good until someone ruins the mood and mentions something else it smells like *looks at my aunt*
...peeps this is where tapioca pudding comes from.
Yellow Tapioca are my favorite
Thank you 🥔 So delicious 😋🔥🔥🔥
can't wait to try it
It looks delicious, thanks Chef Buck and Camera Girl. I've never had that dish and now want to try it. Best regards.
we used to eat this quite often in Florida...good yuca was plentiful...I don't have a problem finding it, but sometimes it's not so great up here around seattle...it's not such a popular in the northwest, and yuca tends to sit at the grocery store and get old
Salt, pepper, onions, sautee it with some ham or bacon and top with some scallions! Delish
L Sounds delicious, the way you would cook it! 👍👍
that's not a stem ,hahaha
NO PORK!
Don't eat pork make some bacalao,❤💪
Loved this video!
never tried it this way Chef. Thanks for sharing. In Malaysia we boil it and eat with coconut sambal !! Yumm
I love these! Have you ever tried them being gently boiled in smaller chunks in coconut milk with water, pinch of salt, a little coconut sugar (or ur choice of sweetener)& a bit of cinnamon? These are so versatile. Yummy.
Ooooh, Thanks I'm going to try that!
That sounds delicious thank you
What is it with Americans and sugar. Must you add that toxin to everything in your diet?
It's a lot like a potato, do you add sugar to your potatoes?
Feel like I can smell that... Delicious 👌
I really like this
Very informative
I am going to try this savoury dish - yummy! Over here in Malaysia, we make a sweet cake with coconut milk, sugar, steamed and baked to brown it. During WW2, it was a staple food for the people when food was scarce. Just boiled and eaten.
Brings me back to Cuba . Yuca or "cassava" is everywhere down there .
same in florida...tons of restaurants serve it...we live in seattle and no restaurants I know of have it on the menu up here
Chef Buck I'm going to Florida in a week and I'll try and get my hands on some. I've had cassava cake before and it was delicious, so I think I'd enjoy this recipe.
Cheers
Cassava was considered somewhat an unhealthy food by the health department for some time now. Theres a reason its like this. Even though with cooking it makes it "safe" eating trace amounts of cyanide is still going to make a government health organization flinch.
Just cooked casava today.
In Malaysia casava is called tapioca..
Love from Malaysia😍
in my home province antique, philippines we call it patioca. .in other native dialects it is called balinghoy or kamoteng kahoy. .
Looks yummy, you can make yuca balls and dip in some chutney. Love this recipe😇
Thanks for the video
The way he peeled cassava 😀😀😀😀😀😀 lol. It was like sugarcane
I followed the recipe and it came out good. I will cook it again. I never knew how to cook yuca before. I wonder how to use my programmable pressure cooker next time.
Wow, lovely
Excellent recipe I did as you said, and it is very very delicious. In the first part, it took 25 minutes to cook the Yuca in hot water.
Thanks for right recipe 🙏😊
So delicious
yummy! thank you
Hi there! i did not know that you can fried it, here in south africa we just peel it and cut into pieces and put into the pot with water and salt and boiled it after cooked we dish,thanks for the receip.God bless you for sharing with us.
Omigosh you guys!!! I went to the food bank today and they had a huge stock of Yuca (what the heck is Yuca???) lol so I got 3 of them, came home, found this channel and I just make this recipe, and used the lemon zest I ALSO got there today, YAY and it is so delish!!! Oh goodness gracious it is so good!! Lots of sauteed garlic, onion and fennel, and the lemon zest and pepper flakes it is totally GOURMET.
*Thank you Chef Buck and CG for this super simple and super delish recipe. And of course...the instructions on prepping the Yuca!!* Liked and subbed!! :D
We make dumpling with it and brown stew pork
Where was this food bank in the usa
Cassava we enjoy with slighty salted fresh coconut with "onion sambol", put in the mortar onions 🌰 chilli flakes or fresh/dried whole chillies 🌶 as you wish with salt & lime drops now chop chop chop until it's well blended we also add dried fish 🐟 called "malidifish", this is very famous in Maldives 🇲🇻, check the flavour as u wish ... mmmm... sure you gonna adore it.. "Lunu miris or Katte sambol", we call it in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 ♥
This wonderful piece of video viewing as I eating right now in my room since I am Vegan like it non grease.
Thanks for the video now I'm hungry. I'm from the island of Tonga and peel n boil til tender pour remaining water out of the pot..pour coconut cream over the Manioke (cassava) bring to boil...done. enjoy it with a nice roast pig, fish etc. or best yet BB-Q teriyaki chicken
Perfect so much ❤❤❤❤❤
beautiful, i love boild cassavas
one of the things I miss from when I lived in the south was the plentiful yuca...I can find yuca up here in the Northwest, but sometimes it's way past it's prime, not as popular up in this part of the country, so sometimes it sits on the shelf for a while
I may have to try this 🤔
This is delicious
I love your videos. Can you please do more low carb recipes, thanks.
Wow, that looks delicious! Can I use frozen yuca to make this too?
I learned of Cassava or Yucca in South America and found it be very healthy root and delicious food. Thanks for sharing!❤
I love it...we usually prepare yuca as we do in this video, but I find plain yuca with a bit of salt and citrus to be wonderful
Yum!❤
Monica T. Curenton : You should have been on a different channel whether there was a raging. " yuca -yucca" discussion among a gang of howling u-tubers. When I first moved to Colombia, I thought 'Yuca ' was just the Spanish pronounciation of 'yucca' until I learned that they are 2 entirely different plants. People in both cultures constantly confuse the two.
Carol Lopez thank you one is the spiked plant and the other is the root. Teach me please
Monica T. Curenton ; the root of yuCCa is used as soap or even shampoo, as my mother did when we were out camping. It takes a really ambitious and determined person to get past those sharp spikes of the Spanish Bayonet variety and get at those roots. I don't think the yuca root can be used to wash hair, do you? Bob Hansler's Channel has some great stuff about YuCCa, how to pick and eat, etc. The flowers, not the root. you'll enjoy it, I know. Meanwhile I love Chef Bucks recipe on Yuca.
Thanks for the tip preveen will do
Yucca/Cassava? That's new to me... Thanks a lot, Buck! I actually learned something today!
it's a pretty popular ingredient and easy to find, although I generally buy smaller sizes of yuca than I used in this video...the yuca I used here was probably the biggest I've ever bought-- looked like a bin full of caveman clubs at the grocery store
ah, Very interesting! They can definitely make for some lethal weapons by the looks of it! xD
Thank you !
we do eat cassava raw with coconut or with salt lemon juice and powdered pepper in my country sometimes we fry, boil or cooked with coconut juice. With coconut you can use salt or sugar and vanilla essences or with cardamom for good aroma. We use leaves as vegetable and it sticks as fire for cooking
cassava and coconut sounds so tasty!
well done mate! cheers.
Good...same as Aloo jeera recipe....👏👏
The world is really a small place. Your making what we call boil and fry man!! ENJOY from Guyana yummy . We also add tomatoes.
very educational video
Great video!
In srilankan cooking we boil with peeled butter squash and add fried onions ,garlic ,salt and red Chile flakes and coconut milk. Its yummy 🤤
Thank you so much
This was great! Just got some Cassava cuttings from eBay. Plan to grow them this summer. Gonna try this recipe!
GrowEverything, where do you live, that you can grow yuca?
