This is something my friends on the BBQ team who participate in the annual Memphis in May Q cooking contest make. Those who like to imbibe might appreciate the recipe for those hot summer days ahead.
Yucca's
1 sun-tea jar with a spout (about 2 quarts) 5 lemons (hand rolled to soften) cut in half Squeeze out as much juice as possible into the tea jar. Add lemon halves to the jar 1 cup white sugar 1/5 vodka Fill jug with crushed ice
Shake the jug for 17 minutes. If you put in the sugar and vodka first, the vodka will dissolve the sugar and make the mix time faster. They do this as a team effort (well heck, it *is* a BBQ cooking team) passing the jug around from person to person to shake it. By the 2nd jug, as you can imagine, they are usually dancing as they shake shake shake the jug 😉

What does this have to do wit Yucca's? ;-o
Here I was hoping for a yucca root recipe...... They are available at our local grocery store and I've no 'clu what to do with them. Dad bought some and they are sitting in a bag in the bottom of the 'frige. As soon as they get moldy, I'll toss them to the chooks! -- K.

Katra: Peel them. Cut into chunks, boil until tender. The fibrous membrane in the center will have to be removed. do not mash them, or it will be good for nothing but wallpaper paste. serve with butter. S/P.
For other more elaborate preps; check out any Cuban or Carribbean cookbook.

Ok, I'll check that out and do some googling. I hate to waste them! They are very large and nearly as fat as a small yam.
They will _have_ to be peeled as they are covered with wax.
Thank you! -- K.

Use to make Bolitas de Yuca (Yucca Puffs). I posted the recipe to the newsgroup as a new message rather than as a reply to this message.

Yup!
Only cooked about 4 of 'em, all the same/similar way - peel, split lengthwise to remove the fibrous fibre fibres, cut cross wise into thick 'chips' and shallow fry in flavoured oil (garlic, chile, pepper, cumin - whatever). I enjoyed them, Kath even more.

Just boil them in salted water until tender and starchy. Otherwise, you can cut them into strips, par boil and then fry them. You could make a garlic sauce using mashed raw garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, lime juice and olive oil, and either dip fried yuca strips or pour over boiled and slightly mashed yuca.
Enjoy, Orlando
I'm getting the impression I can use them any way that I can potatoes or yams!
Thanks for the input! :-) -- K.
