TRADITIONAL CUBAN YUCCA
This traditional Cuban yucca recipe is as simplistic as it is comforting. With its garlic infused onion sauce, you won't feel like you're eating a root vegetable. This yucca dish was on every Cuban influenced menu during my childhood and I love sharing it with my family today. It's simple and quick, yet hearty. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Peel the yucca, making sure to remove all layers of outer skin and gray veins. Yucca should be completely white. Cut in half, lengthwise, and then in thirds. Add yucca in a stockpot and cover with enough cold water so that it is covered completely. Boil for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Be sure to remove inner root once the yucca has "opened". Drain and put on a plate.
- While your yucca boils, add oil to a frying pan. On very low heat, add onion, lime juice and minced garlic to oil and cook until onions are softened. Add salt as needed.
- Pour onion mixture over yucca. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Add frozen cassava to a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 8 minutes and check for doneness. (Prick with a fork and it should be soft, but firm.) Drain the water and cut cassava in chunks of 1 to 2 inches.
- Make a paste with the garlic and the salt using a small food processor, or a mortar and pestle.
- Mix the garlic and salt paste with the sour orange juice.
- In a small saucepan with a lid, heat the lard or vegetable oil on high. Once it is hot, add the onions and let them cook for about 20 seconds. Add the sour orange juice mixture, close the lid, and turn off the heat. Let stand for a few seconds.
- Arrange cassava chunks on the serving platter, drizzle the hot mojo over the cassava, and serve.

- In a saucepan, add yuca with enough salted water to cover the yuca. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until the yuca is fork tender. Careful not to overcook it or you run the risk of the yuca getting too mushy.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the olive oil at medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they are softened and translucent. Add in the minced garlic, pinch of black pepper, and salt to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon then adjust to taste). Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant then whisk in the sour orange juice until all is combined. Set aside.
- Drain the yuca, transfer to a large bowl with a lid and remove the stringy, fibrous core from the center of each piece of yuca, if desired.
- Pour the hot garlic mojo sauce over the yuca making sure it is all well coated. Cover the bowl and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes so the yuca absorbs the mojo. Serve immediately and enjoy!
