Ensalada De Yuca Recipes

ENSALADA DE YUCA

Steps:

• Corta ambos extremos de la yuca. Quita la piel marrón gruesa; pela nuevamente hasta alcanzar la piel blanca limpia. Corta la yuca a lo largo por la mitad; retira el cordón fibroso del centro. Córtala en cubos de 1 pulgada. (Deberías de obtener alrededor de 6 tazas de cubos.)
• Coloca los cubos en una cacerola grande; añade agua hasta cubrir la yuca completamente. Agrega el vinagre y la sal y revuelve. Haz hervir esto a fuego medio-alto. Reduce el fuego a medio-bajo; cocina la yuca de 25 a 30 minutos o hasta que esté tierna. Escúrrela. Déjala enfriar completamente.
• Mezcla la mayonesa, los pimientos, la cebollita, el ajo y el tocino en un tazón grande. Incorpora la yuca; mezcla todo ligeramente. Sirve la ensalada de inmediato o guárdala en la nevera hasta el momento de servir.

YUCA ARREBOSADA SAUTEED YUCA

Steps:

• Place the yuca in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring up to a boil, then reduce the heat so that the water is simmering and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fork-tender. Check individual pieces for doneness, some pieces may cook faster than others. Drain in a colander and, when cool enough to handle, cut into quarters lengthwise and remove and discard the fibrous cores.
• In a very large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the yuca pieces and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook the pieces on one side for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown. Turn the yuca pieces over with tongs and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon salt. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the pieces are deep golden brown on all sides. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a large heated platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and the lime juice and serve, accompanied by wedges of lime.

TORTILLA DE YUCA

Steps:

• Place the peeled and quartered yuca in a pot and cover it with at least 2 quarts water. Cook over high heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the yuca in a colander for 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer and add the butter, 1/4 cup of the oil and salt to taste. Mix on medium speed until well incorporated, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate until cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Shape the yuca dough into eight 4-ounce balls. Make a hole in one of the balls with your finger and stuff it with a tablespoon of the mozzarella. Flatten it into a thick patty (a tortilla). Repeat with the remaining balls.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 4 yuca patties and cook until light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining patties, adding more oil as necessary. Top the tortillas with the Ensalada Criolla.
• Combine the tomatoes, onion and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste and toss. Yield: 8 servings
