Yuca Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of yuca. Peel the thick brown skin; peel again to reach clear white skin. Cut yuca lengthwise in half; remove fibrous cord in center. Cut into 1-inch cubes. (You should have about 6 cups cubes.)
• Place in large saucepan; add enough water to cover yuca completely. Add vinegar and salt; stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 25 to 30 min. or until yuca is tender. Drain. Cool completely.
• Mix mayo, peppers, onions, garlic and bacon in large bowl. Add yuca; mix lightly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Place the yuca into a pan and fill with enough water to cover. Stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and place yucca on a serving plate.
• Meanwhile, place the olive oil, onion, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes. Pour the hot olive oil mixture over the yuca, and serve immediately.

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.
