Step 1

Peel the root properly and remove the outer layer. It is best to use a knife instead of a peeler because the outer layer is hard. I prefer to buy it peeled and frozen because most fo the time it doesn't require soaking. In this case, thaw it in the fridge overnight.

Step 2

Slice it into small pieces.

Step 3

Cover it with enough water and let it soak in the fridge for at least 4 days, replacing the water every day.

Step 4

Add salt to enough water in a pot and boil the cassava root over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender. The cooking time will depend on the size of the chunks.

Step 5

Wait until the root is tender, and then throw away the water in which you boiled it.

Step 6

Remove the woody fiber in the centera dn enjoy with butter if you want.
