Yuca Con Mojo

Tender cassava and pickled onions create the perfect Cuban yuca con mojo!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 pounds of yuca (peeled and cut into 4 inch chunks)
  • 6 cups of water (salted)
  • ⅓ cup of white vinegar
  • 1 red onion (sliced)
  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 6 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 lime (juiced)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, let onions and vinegar soak.
  • Bring water to a boil and add in yuca. Lower heat to medium high for a steady simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • During the last ten minutes of the yuca cooking, heat oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add in onions and reserve the vinegar. Cook onions for five minutes and add the remaining ingredients, including the reserved vinegar. Cook for an extra minute.
  • Drain the yuca once tender and immediately add the cooked onions with the sauce over the yuca. Gently toss to coat and serve.
