    Yuca GratinadaPin
    Yuca Gratinada

    Since coming to the United States, I prefer to cook with frozen yuca instead of fresh. Finding fresh yuca just right is tricky and the frozen one tastes great, comes already peeled and turns out very tender.

    I usually have yuca in the fridge and the other day I was thinking of ways to cook it. So, I decided to make a recipe with yuca that I usually make with potatoes and my husband loved This Yuca Gratin or Yuca Gratinada. Enjoy.

      Wow, another yuca recipe, you really impress. The only way I make yuca is by steaming it.

      Where do you find the frozen yuca? I've seen fresh yuca at Whole Foods, but was reluctant to buy it. Does it have to be at a certain stage when buying it fresh?? The gratin looks super creamy and sinfully delicious!!

      I think one of the reasons I haven't gotten yuca yet is because I feel too lazy to peel it 🙂 I hope I can find a frozen one that's already peeled. The gratin sounds wonderful!

      I like yuca fried with garlic and a touch of olive oil, but never tasted yuca gratin, looks delightful 🙂

      Cheers!

      I've made yuca gratin before (of course, with a colombian husband), but never like this. I really have to look for the frozen yuca. Fresh yuca goes soft so quickly, and I hate wasting it. Thanks for the recipe!

      I like your different approaches to yuca. Less work, less stringy, and I'm thinking more tasty!

      I made this last night and we all loved it! Served it with Short Rib Ragu. I will definitely make this Yuca again.
