Instructions
- 1
Boil 500 g cassava in large pieces in salted water for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 2
Drain the cassava and remove the firm fibrous center.
- 3
Whisk the garlic, orange juice, and olive oil into a mojo sauce.
- 4
Fry the cassava pieces in a pan for 5 minutes, until the outside forms a crust.
5 min05:00 - 5
Toss the hot cassava with the mojo sauce so the starchy surface absorbs it.
- 6
Add the mojo just before serving, otherwise the fried surface will soften.
💡 Tip: Letting the cassava dry briefly after boiling helps it take on better color in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Arrange the hot yuca mojo bites on a plate and drizzle the garlicky orange sauce over them.
