Tips:
- You may want to add the chipotle pepper a little at a time throughout the cooking process to spice the dish to your individual taste. The peppers add the punch to the dish but are very, very hot.
- The traditional mafé dish can also be made with fish, fowl or lamb.
- Cassava root looks like a long, narrow sweet potato and is starchy, being the root of a tropical plant. It is found in Latin American and African food stores and some urban supermarkets.
