Method
Follow the steps from top to bottom while you cook.
- 1
Peel the yuca thickly, cut it into chunks, and remove the tough woody core in the middle if you see it.
- 2
Bring plenty of water to the boil with 1 tsp of salt. Add the yuca and simmer until the pieces are fully tender and just starting to split at the edges, about 30 to 40 minutes depending on size.
- 3
While the yuca cooks, combine the cabbage, red onion, tomato, chilli, lime juice, and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Let the salad stand while the yuca cooks so it softens slightly but keeps its crunch.
- 4
Drain the yuca well when it is ready. Let it steam off for a minute so the surface does not stay watery.
- 5
Arrange the hot yuca on plates or on pieces of banana leaf if you want to serve it in a more traditional way.
- 6
Top first with the chicharron and then with the cabbage salad. Serve immediately while the yuca is still hot and the pork stays crisp.
