Ingredients

2 lb Yucca Root (1/2 pound per person)
2Tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic chopped
2 Tbsp chives
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Rinse yucca well, peel and halve lengthwise. Remove fibrous core.
Combine lemon juice, garlic and fresh herbs in a large pot with enough
water to cover yucca. Bring to a boil and add salt. Lower heat and add
cold water when necessary so as not to allow water to reach another
boil. Pierce with toothpick or fork. When soft (not mushy) remove
pieces and set aside. When all pieces are done, drain, sprinkle with
pepper and serve hot.
