Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs Yucca, peeled, halved and gut into chunks (Frozen yucca may be available in Latin markets in your area)
  • 1 lime (juice from)
  • 6 cloves garlic mashed into 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped fine

Instructions

  1. 1. Place yucca in a saucepan; add water until yucca is just covered. Add salt and lime juice, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender -- about 30 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2. Remove the "woody" or fibrous core from the center of the yuca
  3. 3. Mash garlic cloves into salt with mortar and pestle. Add garlic, lemon juice, and onions to olive oil in a separate saucepan, heat until bubbling, and then pour over yucca.
  4. 4. Toss the yucca and all ingredients lightly while continuing to sauté over medium heat until barely browned, but not crisp!
