This was a very nice side dish. I didn't know what thick coconut milk was and used a coconut creram which was sweetened. This made the dish sweet, but I liked it! Thanks for posting as I am always looking for different ways to prepare yuca which my husband loves. made for ZWT 7.

This is a wonderful recipe.<br/>Cassava needed some time to be ready, I've done this step in the microwave, but I had to wait at least 10 minutes!<br/>It was the fist time for me a recipe with cassava (other names manioc and yucca). I found it in the shop and I found the recipe in the ZWT7 cookbook (Africa). If you have some, try this recipe.<br/>I'm sure that with sweep potatoes, yams, conventional potatoes this would be good to, but it's not the same.<br/>Raw cassava or unprocessed cassava can be a potential public health and safety risk due to the presence of cyanogenic glycosides in the raw or unprocessed cassava. I found the smell of raw cassave intensive!
