Treat your ingredients with care...
- Yuca (cassava) root — Make sure to peel the yuca thoroughly before cooking, as the skin can be tough and bitter. Also, remove any fibrous core from the center of the yuca root before boiling.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a splash of lime juice to the yuca purée before serving.
- If you can't find linguiça sausages, you can substitute with any spicy sausage of your choice.
- Feel free to customize the spices to your taste. Add a pinch of chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
