Here's what I did with it. It was too haphazard to take pictures.
Chicken and Black Bean Stew with Manioc 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock 1 can Goya reduced-sodium black beans ½ cup manioc Approx 1 cup leftover rotisserie chicken 1 sweet onion + 1 green bell pepper, chopped fine + sautéed 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp California pepper 1 tbsp minced garlic 1 tbsp tomato powder ¼ tsp allspice 1 bay leaf This makes a seriously thick stew. The onion + pepper, added at the last minute, added nice flavor + texture, but threw off the previous seasoning balance and diluted the tangy sourness from the manioc. Next time I’ll double the stock, manioc, bay leaves + allspice.
I like it! |

I know it's the same as tapioca flour Melissa...I have never used it, but would think cookies, or just about any baked item. I would look for a South or Central American food site for more suggestions on it.
The stew sounds great Melissa...you used it as a thickener only? |

Go ahead...play with your food!

According to my sister, tapioca flour is finer. This has the texture of couscous. (and tastes like couscous with lemon.)
