Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yuca

    Peel the yuca and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Place the yuca pieces in a large pot, cover with water, and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook for approximately 20-25 minutes until tender.

  2. 2

    Make the Mojo Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    Once the yuca is cooked, drain it and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the mojo sauce over the yuca and serve warm.
