First time I made this I thought I was in heaven. All these years I thought I'd never find yucca until a friend of mine told me you could find it in the chinese market as tapioca!!!

As a Cuban-American I can tell you that this recipe is the real deal. I had to make Yuca for our Noche Buena (Christmas Eve dinner, but didn't know how to make it. So I found Alex's recipe and was extremely pleased because it tasted just like my late aunt's recipe. This is definitely an authentic Cuban recipe. Thanks, Alex.

This was my first time cooking yuca, and I had to consult other recipes to know to peel them and remove their woody cores. The end result was okay, though the onion was almost overpowering.
