YUCCA WITH GARLIC SAUCE (YUCA CON MOJO)

This is a staple of Cuba and of course, now of Miami. When you are preparing this recipe be sure to remove any "woody" parts from the center. You can use the frozen yucca or cassava, in place of the fresh. Just follow the package directions but add salt and lime juice to either.

Yucca with Garlic Sauce: Yucca con Mojo image

Steps:

  • Place the yucca in a large 6-quart pot. Cover with 5 quarts cold water. Add the salt and bring to boil over high heat. Lower heat to medium and cook covered until it feels tender when pierced with a fork but still keeps its shape, about 30 minutes. Be careful not to overcook because yucca can turn into a gooey paste. Turn the heat to low and leave the yucca in the hot water until ready to serve.
  • For The Mojo Sauce: While the yucca cooks, prepare the mojo sauce. Heat the olive oil until fragrant in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion rings until lightly golden. Add the garlic and the cumin and saute, stirring for a few seconds, until golden. Pour in the bitter orange juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Very quickly, drain the yucca in a large colander and transfer to a decorative serving platter. Cover with the mojo sauce and serve piping hot.
  • In Cuba and the Hispanic Caribbean, yucca con mojo is served alongside rice and beans and roast pork

6 pounds whole yucca (fresh or frozen), peeled and cut into 3-inch sections (about 5 pounds trimmed weight or 5 pounds frozen chunks)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small Spanish onions, sliced into thin rings
12 cloves garlic, finely minced or mashed to a paste with mortar and pestle
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/3 cup bitter orange juice or a mixture of lime juice and orange juice (reduce amount if a less tart taste is desired)

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.

Yuca con Mojo image

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.

2 pounds yuca (see Note)
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 cup olive oil
1 large white onion, sliced into thin circles
5 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup white vinegar

  • 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!
