How To Make Yuca Con Mojo - It's ChaCha's Basics

Learn how to peel fresh yuca and make a mojo marinade to accompany the boiled yuca with our new segment, It's ChaCha's Basics.
INGREDIENTS
1-2 lbs. peeled and cut
1/2 large red onion sliced
1/3 c. white vinegar
1/4 c. lime juice
1/4 c. orange juice
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1/4 c. olive oil
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Parsley, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
•Boil yuca in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until fork tender.
•While the yuca is boiling, slice onion.
•Combine onion slices, vinegar, lime, orange and garlic in a bowl.
•Marinate for 20 to 25 minutes; drain onions, reserving some of the liquid marinade.
•Remove yuca from heat; let sit in warm water until ready to serve. This prevents the yuca from drying out.
•Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add cumin, oregano and onions.
•Pour 1-2 tbsp of the liquid marinade (to your liking) to the pan.
•Cook until onions are soft.
•When ready to serve, drain yuca from water.
•Pour hot onions over yuca. Add salt and pepper to taste.
•Serve warm with parsley for garnish.

When I lived in Puerto Rico, I always loved the oil/onion/Criollo condiment for yuca. Without putting effort, this is what I've been looking for. I eat yuca almost daily. It comes frozen now, and the texture beats potatos any day of the week. Very nice!

Awesome! Thank you.

I also learnt about this recipe in Puerto Rico, I love it. Yuca is not very common where I live, but sometimes I can get it frozen from the Latin market.

[@nitenite7142]

They always had frozen one lol I been owning a Dominican spot in the bx and they have been coming frozen for well over 20 years lol

i'm Bengali American, and i LOVE Yuca. There's many Hispanic/Latin markets in my neighborhood, and I always craving Yuca! Healthier than Potatoes, and it tastes better with pickled red onions, and a little vinegar

[@elviscedenoworldtv3989]

Yea we eat a lot of yuca … lol … we eat to much yuca .

[@THESLlCK]

I went to a cuban restaurant only once in my life, not expecting much from any kind of latino food, and yet HOLY COW, best thing I ever had!! Those pickled onions are phenomenal!!!

I didn't grow up doing it this way nor did my family cook it this way. I started doing it this way some years ago and now I can't go back. Lol. It really is delicious when you cook down the onion and garlic and lemon first them add it to the boiled yuca.

I usually buy the frozen organic yuca which saves me a lot of time and effort since I do not have to peel it!

I need this recipe but for 20 people 🤨

[@sweetczz]

Multiply by about 7 times the ingredients. It's about 3 servings for this recipe depending on the size of your yucca
