YUCA STEW
On chilly Brazilian evenings I like to serve our small group this simple recipe. I added harissa, the Tunisian spice blend, to the stew to spice it up, but any pepper sauce will do.

Steps:
- Place yuca into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft enough to mash, 25 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Drain and mash the yuca. Heat olive oil and canola oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mashed yuca, water, salt, and harissa. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until stew is thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Insert an immersion blender into the stew and puree until smooth. Crumble bacon into the stew and stir in watercress. Turn off heat, cover, and let rest for a few minutes. Serve warm.
