Fried Yuca With Lemon Recipes

Steps:

• Place the yuca into a large pot, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the yuca can be pierced easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, and allow to steam for several minutes until cool enough to handle. Cut the yuca into french fry-sized sticks, discarding the fibrous core.
• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fry the yuca in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain in a paper towel-lined bowl. Toss with salt to taste, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Method:
• Slice yucca paper-thin, sprinkle with salt. Heat oil to near-smoking 360 to 375 degrees F. Drop yucca chips into oil. Fry until they float to top, and are golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Steps:

• Cut the yuca crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Cut each piece into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick strips. Cut out the tough core from the inner edge of each piece; discard the core. Transfer the yuca to a large saucepan. Cover with water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Cook until just soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain, and pat dry.
• Heat 5 inches oil in a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until it registers 360°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fry the garlic until golden, about 1 minute. Discard the garlic. Working in batches of several strips, fry the yuca, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain. Sprinkle with salt. Serve with lemon wedges.
