cassava - boiled???

Murtle

Hi Guys

I bought some cassava today, cause I'm sure my ex-MIL used to boil it and give it to us like new pots???

Have I got this wrong, if so what else can I use it for???

Thanks kindly....guess what's for dinner.....

Oops, that'll teach me for reading the interweb not ex-MILS's receipes, now I'm worried??!!!

Thanks

Yes you just boil it like potatoes. I will check with my Nan though and get back to you.

Right, spoke to my mother - put it in boiling water, that has a teaspoon of salt and a spot of oil to stop it sticking. Cook for about ten minutes, same as potatoes. Eat while hot, it is much nicer.

Since the starch from cassova is used for tapioca it might make a nice pud too.

I found this cake recipe:-

1 package grated cassava (about 8 or 10oz)
1 package grated young coconut (same amount as above)
1 stick butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Mix together the cassava and coconut, add melted butter then slowly
mix in egg and milks. Spread in a 9x11" greased pan to no more
than one-inch" thickness. Bake in 350 to 400 degree oven for 25
to 30 minutes or until top is light brown. Cool before cutting.

Indian restaurants serve Mogo which is cassava deepfried like chips, yummy.

peel it then coat with oil, and whack it under the grill or on a barbecue

just a note, it's very poisonous if not cooked properly, can give you cyanide poisoning, avoid it at all costs if on holiday in the far east.
