This is a great way to cook yuca as this vegetable by itself is bland. This Yuca Sudada recipe is very popular in Colombia. Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.
Buen provecho

In Guyana, we'd add the boiled cassava to the stew, toss and then serve. I like your method too.

In Cali, Colombia we make a soup called "Sancocho". We add the yuca to the soup, it's delicious!
