Prepare yuca by cutting it into 3-4 inch long peices, then with the cut end down use a knife to trim the skin off of the yuca, working your way all around. (Note: the cut yuca should be white and not showing any brown areas. Also, it should have little to no smell.) Once yuca is skinned cut the round section in half.

Next, place all of the yuca into a 3 quart pot. Cover the yuca with enough water such that the water level is 1 inch higher than the yuca, salt the water (2 tablespoons salt), bring to a boil then cover and let simmer for 30 minutes or until yuca is soft (a knife should be able to pierce yuca with some resistance).
