Asopao
A hearty and sustaining dish, asopao is a Puerto Rican stew filled with rice and plenty of vegetables and topped with spiced ground chicken. Starchy potato can stand in for the yucca.

Really enjoyed this stew. I didn't expect to see Turmeric and Za'atar in a Puerto Rican dish, but it made for an interesting flavor profile. I couldn't find Thai peppers, so used serrano peppers.
BTW - it's yuca (cassava) root. Yucca is a different plant altogether. ;)
