Yuca con Mojo
Yuca con Mojo is a classic Latin American dish that combines the simplicity of boiled yuca with the bold flavors of a zesty mojo sauce. The dish is a staple in many Latin American countries and is often served as a side or used as an ingredient in more complex recipes. The yuca is boiled until tender, then served with a tangy and herby mojo sauce made with a mixture of olive oil, citrus juice, garlic, and herbs. The combination of the starchy yuca and the bright, citrusy sauce is a match made in heaven, and the dish is sure to become a favorite in any kitchen.

Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Peel the yuca and cut it into large chunks. Place the yuca in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover the yuca. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the yuca is tender when pierced with a fork.
2
While the yuca is cooking, make the mojo sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro. Blend until smooth and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3
Once the yuca is cooked, drain it and place it on a platter. Spoon the mojo sauce over the top of the yuca and garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
