Cassava or plantains may not be traditional food where you are, but after you make this dish for your friends and family, no one will deny how cultured you are.
- Cassava – Pronounced kuh-sah-vah (if someone asks you); it’s also called yuca. This starchy root vegetable looks like a yam with tree bark on it. But you can replace it with true yams (Dioscorea, not sweet potatoes).
- Plantains – These are not bananas. They have more starch, and you can enjoy them before or after they ripen. For this recipe, you want green plantains. While this recipe calls for boiling the plantains, they also taste amazing fried! Leave the sweet yellow plantains for another tasty recipe.
