Sweet Cassava Bread

Corn nourished the Central American Maya's; the Peruvian Inca's grew on potatoes, while in the Caribbean the Arawak's thrived on manioc, better known as Cassava. The Arawak Indians inhabited the Virgin Islands many hundreds of years before Columbus first voyaged to this part of the world. Traditionally, the Arawaks placed their hand-fashioned clay griddles over a fire, then poured the cassava meal on top. The heat slowly caramelized the cassava's natural sugars, gluing the bread together and giving it a golden brown color.
