Yuca, or cassava, is a Latin American root vegetable. This simple dish is the way my granny used to make it.

  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • ½ onion , diced
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 0.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place yuca into a pan and fill with enough water to cover. Stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; place yuca on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, place olive oil, onion, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

    Pour the hot olive oil mixture over the yuca; serve immediately.
