🇨🇺 Cuba recipe
Yuca con Mojo
Yuca con mojo is the elemental Cuban side dish: starchy boiled cassava root drenched in a sizzling, garlicky mojo sauce. The beauty lies in its simplicity. The yuca is boiled until tender and slightly waxy, then a fiery sauce of garlic sizzled in olive oil and sour orange juice is poured over the top while still hot, allowing the root to drink in every drop of flavor. It is the perfect accompaniment to lechón asado or any Cuban meat dish.
