Answers: Fried Yuca (Yuca Frita)
INGREDIENTS:
vegetable or peanut oil for frying
3 medium-size yuca, cooked, covered, over medium heat in salted water to cover until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces salt to taste
1 recipe Mojo Criollo
1 In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 F. or until a piece of yuca sizzles when it touches the oil, and fry the yuca until crisp on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes, turning with a slotted spoon. Fry only 5 or 6 pieces at a time so the oil temperature does not go down. Drain on a paper-towel-lined platter and keep warm in a 200 F. oven.
2 Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with salt, and serve with the mojo criollo on the side.
-----------------YUCA CHIPS
ingredients
2 to 2 1/2 lb fresh yuca (cassava), trimmed
About 7 cups vegetable oil
Kosher salt for sprinkling
Special equipment: a Y-shaped vegetable peeler; a deep-fat thermometer; a mandoline or other adjustable-blade slicer
preparation
Peel yuca with vegetable peeler, removing all waxy brown skin and pinkish layer underneath, then cut flesh crosswise into 3-inch sections.
Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer.
While oil is heating, shave as many very thin lengthwise strips as possible from yuca sections with peeler or mandoline.
Fry yuca strips a handful at a time, stirring and turning with a slotted spoon, until golden, 30 to 45 seconds, transferring to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle immediately with kosher salt.
Cooks' note:
° Yuca chips can be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
