Yuca al Mojo (Cassava with Onions)
Yuca al mojo is one of those simple sides that makes its way onto the table again and again because it goes with just about everything.
Ingredients
- 2-3 yuca peeled and cut into quarters
- Water
- Salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 red onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic mashed
- 1 lime or 1 tbsp vinegar
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ salt
- ¼ pinch cumin
- Cilantro chopped, for topping
Instructions
- Add the yuca quarters, water, and a sprinkle salt to a pot over medium heat. Cook until the yuca is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Drain, then remove the tough, fibrous core from the center of each piece.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add the onions, peppers, garlic, lime juice, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the onions soften and everything smells nice and fragrant.
- Add the cooked yuca to the pan and toss everything together. Let it cook for another 2–3 minutes so the yuca soaks up all that delicious mojo.
- Serve warm with fresh cilantro on top. ¡Buen provecho!
