YUCA CON MOJO
Yuca is among the most commonly eaten viandas - the local word for starchy fruits and vegetables, such as plantain and taro - in Puerto Rico. It is the root of the cassava, an extraordinarily resilient plant that was the principal food of the Indigenous Taínos of the island. Among its many preparations, this is my favorite: boiled yuca doused in a garlicky citrus mojo dressing, my grandmother's recipe. She never wrote it down, but my mother had it deep in her memory, and we cooked it together for this version you see here. The mojo will keep for several weeks in the fridge, and is also delicious on crispy fried tostones, roasted vegetables and fish.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Prepare the yuca: Fill a large bowl with water. Peel the yuca with a sharp peeler or paring knife, then chop it into 2-inch pieces, tossing them in the bowl of water as you go to avoid discoloration.
- Make the mojo: Bring olive oil to a simmer in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring well to incorporate. Cook until the onions are translucent and soft, stirring often and being careful not to let the onions brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and add vinegar, and add salt to taste.
- Once water is at a rolling boil, add 1/4 cup salt, then carefully add yuca. Boil for 20 to 30 minutes, until a sharp knife goes through easily, careful not to let yuca overcook and become mushy.
- Drain yuca and transfer to a serving dish. Pour over warm mojo and serve.

ROASTED CASSAVA (YUCA ASADO)
I was looking for a different way to prepare yuca. Yuca is very bland on its own. It is good for fries and added to stews, but I wanted something a little different.

- 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!
