Ingredients

2 Fresh Yuca

2 Large White Onions

Begin by carefully removing the waxy skin of the fresh yuca. Slice yuca in half and carefully remove the center vein. This can also be removed after the yuca has been in boil. Rinse yuca and set aside

In a large dutch oven, bring 8 cups of water to oil with salt. Then add yuca and boil for 20-30mins making sure not to overcook the yuca. The yuca can be be enjoyed firm or soft but not to the point where it becomes a puree

While yuca is boiling, slice Spanish onions and garlic. Set aside

Once the yuca is done, drain the water and serve yuca with Cuban Mojo over top. Enjoy while warm with your favorite protein on the side!
