I was walking through the store and wanted something different. I grabbed this big cassava and was determined to cook it. I remember I had made a dish similar to this and it was rather tasty. I did some cross referencing and I decided I would do this.

  2. 1Med. Onion
  3. 3 ClovesGarlic
  4. 1Fresh Lime
  5. 1/2 CupOlive Oil
  6. Red Chili Flakes (Or whatever pepper you like)

Cooking Instructions

45 Minutes
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel cassava, chop in half and slice horizontally. Place in boiling water and boil until tender. Remove and reserve.

  2. 2

    Put oil in a pan along with diced onion and garlic. Cook in the pan until onions are cooked. Monitor the heat. You want to infuse the oil with flavor, not burn the ingredients. If you want it spicier, you can add the pepper at this stage.

  3. 3

    Pour the hot oil directly over the cassava. Zest a lime and sprinkle it on top. Squeeze the juice of the lime on top. Add red pepper flakes and garnish with scallions.

When you can create something from nothing, it’s almost mythical.
