ingredients
- 453.59 g yucca root, Peeled and chopped into 1inch pieces
- 29.58 ml olive oil
- 2 medium onions, chopped fine
- 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped fine
- 907.18 g small cooked peeled prawns (shrimp)
- 60 g coriander, chopped (cilantro, half a large bunch)
- 100 g coconut cream, grated (in solid block form)
- 22.18-44.37 ml palm oil
- 1 lime, quartered
directions
- Cook the Yucca root in plenty of salted water for 30-40 minutes or until tender enough to mash.
- Drain off most but not all of the water and mash the mixture well.
- Heat the oil and fry the onions until just starting to brown on a medium heat.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for around 5 minutes.
- Throw in the prawns with a little salt and pepper along with the coconut cream and allow to melt together.
- Add the coriander and mashed Yucca and mix to combine and cook for 5 minutes. It should be a thick creamy mixture by now, if not cook a little longer to evaporate some of the liquid.
- Stir in the palm oil and serve with white rice and a wedge of lime.
- Food of the Gods.
- TIP: To lower the fat content, fry the onions in spray oil, use only 70g coconut cream and use the lesser amount of palm oil. Any leftovers will freeze well.
