Maduro Sweet Plantains, Yucca & Guacamole Recipe

   Prepare the Yucca

   Peel the yucca and cut it into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

   Peel the ripe plantains and slice them diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. In a skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

   Make the Guacamole

   In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados. Add lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well until creamy.

   Prepare the Garlic Mojo

   In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic. Let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
