I wasn’t the biggest fan of Cuban yuca growing up. I know. That sounds purely insane so crucify me if you must. As I have aged I have developed the palate and appreciation for yuca. What makes Cuban Yuca perfect is no doubt the mojo mix. This one is almost impossible to mess up and the more garlic, the better of course. Serve with rice, black beans, pork, and tostones and enjoy!

Cuban Yuca

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. Yuca
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup Sour Orange
  • 1 cup olive oil

Prepare

  1. First, boil the yuca in a large pot for about 20 minutes or until tender enough to break with a fork.
  2. Drain the yuca and place in a casserole dish or deep baking dish.
  3. In a separate saute pot, heat up the olive oil with onions until they start to become soft and translucent.
  4. Add the garlic, salt and pepper, and then the sour orange and cook for one more minute.
  5. Off the heat and pour the mojo mixture all over the yuca.
  6. Finally, bake the yuca in an oven at 450 degrees F for 30 minutes.
  7. Serve with, rice, beans, Cuban pork, and tostones and enjoy!
