Cassava Pie is a traditional dish popular in the Caribbean and South America, primarily made from the root vegetable cassava, also known as yuca or manioc. This dish is often sweetened with sugar and coconut, and occasionally includes meat, making it a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors. The cassava is grated, squeezed of its juice, and then combined with other ingredients before being baked until golden. It is often served during holidays and special occasions.
