We ’ve end harvesting the manioc for this year , and have had a few squeamish meals of it so far .
Rachel ’s best-loved method acting for cooking cassava , and one which is very popular in our house , is to make cassava fries .
Since manioc requires boiling to make it safe for consumption , she peels the roots and cuts them into sections , then boils them in salty water system until they are fork - tender .
The saltiness is n’t necessary to take toxins , but it does make the final cassava chips taste much better .
Once the cassava starch is misrepresent , she then strive it and let it sit for a while . Sometimes she puts it all in the electric refrigerator to finish later , other time she takes it right from the throne and moves on to the next pace .
The roil cassava is slew into fry - sized chunks and lay out on a baking tray that has been oil with tallow or coconut oil .
She then use a brushwood to apply more tallow to all the pieces .
Beef tallow is really the best . Lard is respectable as well . Coconut oil is o.k. .
Once the opus are oiled , she salts them , then puts them in the oven to bake on “ in high spirits ” for about fifteen minutes .
It ordinarily take more like 20 - 25 to be finished , because often the timer go off at 15 and she check them and gives them another 10 minutes . It partly depends on the size of the pieces you put in . thin piece prepare much quicker than dense ones . I like them to get a piffling crunchy , too . A little black on the edges is fine .
Then you just take them to the table , or transfer them to an appropriate composition of glassware from the seventies .
you could make homemade mayo or utilize ketchup to dip them in , but candidly : they are so good when boil in salty water and then coat in tallow and roasted crispy , they do n’t necessitate anything to be double-dyed .
Cassava is one of the crops I extremely recommend inTotally Crazy Easy Florida Gardening , as well as in my other Florida horticulture volume . It ’s easier to acquire than potatoes , is repeated , has a different season from white potatoes , can be kept in the ground for a long while , and expand in the state of Florida .
Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception … we ’re headed to church today . And on the way , I will be hunting the international market for some new root harvest to test .
