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

Ingredients

2 pounds yuca , peeled and sliced lengthwise
0.5 teaspoons salt
0.25 cups olive oil
½ onion , diced
4 cloves garlic , minced
0.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

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

Meanwhile, place olive oil, onion, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
3

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