Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Place the yuca chunks in a large pot and cover with water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure the yuca is fully submerged in water for even cooking.
2
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the yuca is very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Približno 25 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Cooking time can vary depending on the freshness and size of the yuca.
3
While the yuca cooks, prepare the mojo sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour orange juice and lime juice.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: If sour oranges are unavailable, you can substitute with a mix of orange and lime juice (3:1 ratio).
4
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced yellow onion.
Približno 1 min
5
Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the onion is softened and translucent, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Približno 4 min
6
Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully pour in the citrus juice mixture. It will sizzle. Stir well to combine.
Približno 1 min
7
Once the yuca is tender, drain it thoroughly. Transfer the yuca to a serving dish.
Približno 1 min
8
Pour the warm mojo sauce over the cooked yuca. Gently toss to coat all the pieces.
Približno 1 min
9
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
