Crisp Yuca Bread (Casabe)

Ingredients:

1 kg of cassava
½ teaspoon salt
Olive oil

Method:

1. Peel and wash the yucca very well.
2. Cut it in half lengthwise and remove its center.
3. Grate yucca finely.
4. Once grated, add salt and olive oil and mix.
5. Place the cassava on a very fine mesh cheesecloth or rag and squeeze well to remove all of its liquid.
6. Keep the liquid (when it settles the starch sinks to the bottom. How cool is to make your own yucca starch?) And dived the mixture in two (one for now, one for later).
7. Place a skillet over medium-high heat, pour in 1 teaspoon of oil
8. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of yuca mixture in the pan and spread it thinly with a spatula to obtain a fine casabe.
9. Fry the bread for about 1 minute on each side, or until lightly browned. The remaining moisture should evaporate to form a crumbly dough. The casabe should have a crunchy texture
