YUCA FRITTERS (AREPITAS DE YUCA) RECIPE BY TASTY
One of our favorite ways to enjoy yuca is when it's fried. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these fritters make for a fun and easy appetizer. Just be sure to use a sharp knife when cutting and slicing the yuca. So kiss your fries goodbye (for now), and give these fritters a try!

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, stand each piece upright and carefully slice off the skin.
- Grate the yuca on the small holes of a box grater.
- Add the grated yuca to a large bowl, along with the softened butter, egg, sugar, anise seeds, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- In a high-walled skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches, scoop 2 tablespoons of the yuca mixture at a time into your hand and gently press into a ½-inch (1 ¼ cm)-thick fritter. Place on the edge of a metal spatula and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Serve the fritters warm.
- Enjoy!

FISH AND YUCA STEW WITH PICKLED ONIONS
Steps:
- Cook yuca:
- If using fresh yuca, remove peel and pink flesh using a vegetable peeler. Cover fresh or frozen yuca with salted cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until yuca begins to split, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer yuca with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, reserving water in pan. Cut into 1-inch wedges, pulling out and discarding tough core. Return yuca to cooking water and simmer, covered, until tender and completely translucent, 15 to 25 minutes more.
- Make pickled onions while yuca cooks:
- Cover onion with boiling-hot water in a heatproof bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Drain onion and return to bowl. Add lime juice and salt, tossing to coat, and let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Make fish stew while yuca finishes cooking:
- Bring water, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Toss fish with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and stir into broth. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. 3Drain yuca and divide among 4 large soup bowls. Ladle fish stew over yuca and top with some of pickled onions.
