Its o.k. In Puerto Rico we would add to that sauces sugar, fresh orange juice, cilantro, black pepper, fresh lime juice, butter and vinegar.
I followed the recipe as indicated but I would say you have to cook the yucca for more than 15 mins because mine was still hard.
You must always boil yucca for at least 25 minutes! 15 minutes just doesn't cut it unless you slice it so thin it falls apart. This is a wonderful recipe other than the mis-calculated cooking time, however.
My lovily cuban neighbor shared many recipes with me when he saw my love for cooking as with many reviews given the cook time is a bit off as the yucca in the markets is not as good as the fresh that AL would bring over from his garden if fresh than about 20 mins if not fresh than 25-30 some things he recommended: Lime juice instead of lemon it gives a different dimention I also was told to heat the oil than pour over the lemon or lime garlic and zest if you like along with a couple pats of butter it gives a lovily addition to this dish. I than garnish with citantro and finely chopped green onion... but will be trying the chives...it looks really yummy on the picture.
great recipe served this with yellow rice and a mojo pork roast..
This came out really well though I doubled the amount of lemon juice and added the same amount of lime juice for added acidity as I tend to like my food more sour.
This superior to any yucca I have had in any Latin restaurants. It s so simply and authentic. I just added a little salt to taste. A perfect 5 star
My husband is from Brazil and just boils the yucca which I find boring. This recipe is perfect... we both enjoyed it.
The Upperwest side girls got together to do some new side for Thanksgiving. This one was the best for all the cassava/yucca recipe. The yucca need to cook a little longer than 15 minutes. It was very good and it made the list for The upperwest side girls thanksgiving feast of 45 people. It easy and very good. It a keeper. Thanks Cocina jnots
