Incredible in stews.
I'll have to give Yuca a try , looks tasty !!!
Why not buy frozen peeled yuca ?
Elle looks so good without all that excess weight. She must work very hard to keep it off, with all those rich recipes she makes.
I love bridget
Elle looks absolutely amazing. I am curious how she has lost so much weight ❤️. Kudo's to her since it is hard enough as it is but being a chef for ATK to boot!? Love her presentations.
if you serve the fry yucca it with a pork "chicharron "(pork belly deep fried) and pickle cabbage
it is heaven!!
I'm Cuban so we eat it with mojo (olive oil and garlic) just dip and eat. These are sooo much crunchier than French fries.
Yay Elle!!!
So delicious!
Make sure to boil it first, it will make you sick otherwise. They should have mentioned that to the people that have never prepared yucca before!
Bridget and Elle have such great chemistry. I’d watch a series with Elle as the host. Charm off the charts.
Did she say it's from south America, its actually starts from southern Mexico to the Caribbean this the state of yucatan, the name derives from yuca,like the chia seeds,Chiapas
A Brazilian classic 😍❤️🇧🇷
ive never peeled a cassava like how she did. just slice the skin end to end and peel it by hand after.
I love the little shimmy that Elle did when eating it. Us black people will do a little shimmy if anything is bomb.
Elle has lost some good weight and looks good 👍 Keep up healthy eating but no vegetable oil please. I enjoy Brigitte's humor lol.
First had yucca at a Peruvian chicken shop. Rice and beans and yucca and roast chicken with lots of different sauces. So good. Take me back.
ATK, HELLO,I FIRST HAD THIS DAILY as an after noon snack SCUBA BIVE WEEK,,IN FIJI, I surely liked it, than started it at home, my wife loved them too,THANKS ELLIE, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So I hate to rain on everyone's parade and maybe it's because of where I live but where does one even buy yuca it's certainly not in any of my grocery stores which tells you where I live that there is a food shortage or a fresh food shortage I love cooking with ATK but I'm kind of angry that ATK always assumes that I am someone that makes more than the average income in the US and lives in a great place I don't but I want to cook well so help me be a part of your program but not feel excluded
Why not have a Hispanic presenter when covering Hispanics foods. I guess keep appreciating our culture and not supporting our people. Orgullo Latino ✊🏽
Thank you, never heard of this yuca before in my life. Now I have to find this at my local Mexican market
PEANUT OIL IS WAY BETTER AND MORE HEALTHY
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
Yucca Cuban style: boil them just like she did, in a separate pot get vegetable or corn oil hot then pour it over a container with sliced onion, garlic, salt and vinegar (and or lime). That is the absolute greatest and most classic condiment for boiled or even fried yucca.
Yuca contains naturally occurring cyanide that can cause paralysis and death. This should be addressed, as well as all the steps required to prepare it safely. This gross negligence is so disturbing.
Best fries i ever ate were Yucca fries at a Bob Marley restaurant in florida. 👌🏻
The silent enjoyment at end got me
My favorite thing ❤❤❤ I use a garlic mojito (oil garlic vinegar salt) is so good. Sauté Garlic and onion together with oil makes a great pairing condiment
If you take the heart after you boil it, it is so much easier!
You should mention that raw yucca is toxic and so that's why you need to boil it first
Wow, she lost so much weight. Look good, and healthy keep it up.
🤤😊
Have to try tostones de yuca.
Thanks for this! I grow Cassava, but didn't really know how to use it in recipes. Fried looks delicious! Actually it makes a nice ornamental plant in the landscape. The slightest breeze causes the leaves to flutter. Also, visitors to my place frequently ask "What is that plant ?" Good conversation starter.
Fresh yoka 😆
As a latin american woman I have to say that no salt is added to the yuca until it is soft. When it boils enough and softens, add the salt. If you add it before it does not soften enough later.
Boiled yucca (you-ka) with bacon, pork, chorizos, sausages, onions & lots of garlic is awesome! Always make extra to make fried next day!!
Thank you for the yuca video. I'd never heard of it. I'm glad to know something about it.
Man I'm always down for fried starches
Yummy yuca and dressed just the way I like to enjoy them.
Could the Yucca be done in the air fryer??
look, you need to know yuca better, she peels differently and she's not your play doll. respect the yuca gods.
Yuca 1 cup calores – raw/steamed 330 – cooked 237 – boiled xxxx

Yuca fits right up in the area between many bean varieties … and parsnips, garlic, sweet potato, yams, potatoes
You should learn how to prep yuca before posting a video online about prepping yuca.
I've never heard "yuca" pronounced the way Bridgette does. I've only heard "yoo-ka" not "yuh-ka"
