Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds fresh Yucca can be bought at most supermarkets, I got mine at whole foods
  • 1-2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Wash the yucca.
  • Peel the yucca. Make sure to get all of the skin off, you will not want any in your bread.
  • Using a grater or food processor, grate the yucca.
  • Once grated, pour onto a cheesecloth and squeeze out all excess moisture. Discard the liquid.
  • Place the yucca in a bowl and stir in salt.
  • Spray a cast iron pan with cooking oil. Heat over medium high heat.
  • When the pan is hot, place half of the grated yucca in the middle of the pan. Spread it out with a spatula, or back of a spoon, into a circular cake.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes on one side, flip, and cook the same amount of time on the other side.
  • Soak the bammy in coconut milk for 5-10 minutes.
  • In the same heated pan as before, fry an additional 3 minutes on each side.
  • Cut into quarters and enjoy!
