Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For yuca
1 1/2 lb fresh or frozen yuca (1 large), cut crosswise into 2-inch sections for pickled onions
1 medium red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
For fish stew
3 cups water
1 lb tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 lb skinless tuna, bluefish, or mackerel fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
Accompaniment: lime wedges
Garnish: chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook yuca:
  • If using fresh yuca, remove peel and pink flesh using a vegetable peeler. Cover fresh or frozen yuca with salted cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until yuca begins to split, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer yuca with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, reserving water in pan. Cut into 1-inch wedges, pulling out and discarding tough core. Return yuca to cooking water and simmer, covered, until tender and completely translucent, 15 to 25 minutes more.
  • Make pickled onions while yuca cooks:
  • Cover onion with boiling-hot water in a heatproof bowl and let stand 15 minutes. Drain onion and return to bowl. Add lime juice and salt, tossing to coat, and let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • Make fish stew while yuca finishes cooking:
  • Bring water, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Toss fish with remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and stir into broth. Cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fish is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. 3Drain yuca and divide among 4 large soup bowls. Ladle fish stew over yuca and top with some of pickled onions.
