Yuca Frita con Chicharron
Yuca Frita con Chicharrón (Yuca Fries with Pork Belly) is a beloved dish from El Salvador, often found at street markets, family gatherings, and celebrations. Crispy yuca paired with savoury pork belly, curtido (pickled cabbage slaw), and salsa creates a comforting, flavourful combination that reflects Salvadoran tradition.
For my family, this dish has always been more than food—it’s a connection to our roots. Growing up in Edmonton, my mom kept these recipes alive, sharing the flavours of her childhood with us and passing down techniques through the generations.
Now, it’s my turn to carry that tradition forward. I hope you’ll try this recipe and enjoy a little taste of El Salvador in your own kitchen.
