Cuban-Style Yucca Root With Citrus and Garlic

 

3 pounds yucca, scrubbed, peeled and cut into 3-inch

sections

3/4 teaspoon salt, divided use

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 small onion, minced

6 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup fresh grapefruit or lime juice

1/3 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano

 

Place yuca in cold water to cover and bring to a boil,

adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water. Reduce to a

simmer and cook, covered, about 30 minutes until the

root is easily pierced with a fork.

Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a skillet and cook

the onion until translucent, about 4 minutes. Then

stir in the garlic, juices and remaining 1/4 teaspoon

of salt. Add the herbs.

Drain the yuca, then combine with the sauce and serve.

 

Serves 6.
