Yuca con Mojo is a traditional side dish originating from Cuba. Yuca, otherwise known as cassava, is a starchy root vegetable grown in tropical climates all year round. The texture resembles a potato but is sweeter and slightly nutty. It has many uses, from being fried into chips or fries, added to soups and stews, made into cakes and breads, boiled & served as a side dish, or mixed into salads. Yuca ties with rice & corn for being the top form of carbohydrates in most South American and Caribbean countries. Mojo is a delicious sauce made from fresh citrus fruits, lots of garlic, oil, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper. Mojo sauce also pairs well with fish and other seafood and meats and can be used to marinate vegetables.
