Step 1

Add yuca to a large pot of water with salt. Bring the yuca to a boil on high heat then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until the yuca is fork-tender. Careful not to overcook it or you run the risk of the yuca getting too mushy.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat the olive oil at medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes until they are softened and translucent. Add in the minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and salt to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon then adjust to taste). Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant then whisk in the sour orange juice until all is combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Once the yuca is fork-tender, drain and pat them dry with paper towels then transfer them to a large bowl with a lid. Remove the stringy, fibrous core from the center of each piece of yuca with a knife, if desired.

Step 4

Pour the hot garlic mojo sauce over the yuca making sure it is all well coated. Cover the bowl and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes so the yuca absorbs the mojo. Serve immediately and enjoy!
