This Yucca plant is used daily by indigenous people of Brazil to produce 'Tapioca', but it is another kind of Yucca. It's called different names depending on the region (Aipim, Mandioca, Macaxeira etc. They say do this cream with the Yucca is the African influence in this dish. Besides the mentioned Tapioca (sold in the cities too) can do the 'farofa', which is a flour. This large red pepper is not strong flavor but gives color to the dish.

I made Bobo but with Chicken (girlfriend is allegric to prawns. I adore Brazil and my Brazilian friends, but the enthusiasm shown in the video regarding the Bobo is exaggerated. I found the recipe to be rather bland in all honesty. Once you blend the cassava with the ingredients, it becomes a sticky, mushy and not so appetising affair. It certainly doesn't taste bad, but I was expecting for it to blow me away given the enthusiasm in the video.

I made this dish and it was delicious. It was a mix of sweet and a slight taste of hot bc of the pepper. Instead of the oil he used I used SAFFLOWER OIL, instead of PEPPER SAUCE I used PEPPER the type of pepper you use to sprinkle on pizza. I used maybe 2 cups of YUCA. Which you can substitute with potatoes. And I added the amount of salt I wanted for the right taste. And it was pretty good!

What's the cassava root similar to? I stayed 5 months in Rio and never tried it (silly me) I always assumed it may taste like a cross between a sweet potato and something else. I like the look of the dish though so might have to hunt the cassava root here in the UK and give it a go.

It's damn delicious. Weirdly, the dish feels very local to me (southeast asia) I always thought South American food would be somewhat foreign to us. Couldn't wait for more tropical (ingredient) dishes of South American.

How does it become so brightly coloured? Is it the yuca that turns colour when it's cooked? Because I don't see how the broth would become that bright. is there a spice he didn't mention?
reply

Hey! I'm from Mumbai, India. I don't know where can I find yucca here, but I'll try to find. however, can u suggest me if there's any substitute to that root? can I use sweet potato instead?
reply

I would imagine Brazilian food would be utterly unique, with such a bounty to choose from. Meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables, all the herbs and spices, endless possibilities.

wow, that looks very delisch, and that intense yellow colourof the bobo gave me life! Another thing i fell inlove with was the staub-cookingware he cooked everything in: )

What can I use instead of dende oil? I have soo many exotic sauces and spices in my cupboard already, so I'm trying to avoid buying a whole bottle for just one recipe.
