Cassava, also known as yucca, is a tuberous root that tastes somewhat like potatoes although it is not related and definitely has a unique, delicious taste. Click here for a picture and detailed facts. Cassava can be as cheap as 4 lbs. for a dollar at the supermarket where I live. Your supermarket probably doesn't have it unless you live in a community with a large number of Hispanics. Do not refrigerate them. Break off the ends before buying to see if they are moist and free of any black lines which means it's going bad. They don't last long, so eat em soon after buying them.

1. Peel the cassava & cut them into appoximately 1/4 inch strips(You'll find your favorite thickness after you cook them a few times.)

2. Cover them with Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Light Olive Oil.

3. Spread them across the grill and try not to overlap them too much. If you cut them a little thicker you'll fit more but you don't want to make em too thick. You can fit about 1 1/4 pounds on a family sized grill.

4. Cook them for about 25 minutes. The fresher they are, the longer they should be cooked. Salt if desired.
