Boiled Cassava

Cassava is yet another root vegetable that I had as a child in Trinidad.  As it is a starch, Cassava works well anywhere you might use potatoes.  I think it compliments any of the stews we eat.  If this does not appeal to you, then you can always use it in a dessert like Cassava Pone.
