A true bicultural cocktail takes a little bit of what makes the two parts special and mixes everything into one creation of tantalizing beauty. Such is this very special cocktail?refreshing and exotic, with its blend of rum and mint, yet it remains traditionally classy served in a Martini glass.
As a root vegetable, there are many variations of enjoying yucca. I grew up on the traditional preparation of the plant, as an accompaniment in typical Cuban fare.
I also grew up on mashed potatoes, an American staple usually paired with a meat entrée and a less starchy vegetable side.
In this recipe, I mix those two worlds to create garlic mashed yucca, a wonderful hybrid of flavors.
This traditional Cuban yucca recipe is as simplistic as it is comforting. With its garlic infused onion sauce, you won?t feel like you?re eating a root vegetable.
This yucca dish was on every Cuban influenced menu during my childhood and I love sharing it with my family today. It?s simple and quick, yet hearty.
Enjoy!
