Yuca al Mojo – Authentic Cuban Flavors!

If you’re looking to bring authentic Cuban flavors to your kitchen, Yuca al Mojo is a must-try dish! This traditional recipe features tender, boiled yuca (cassava) drenched in a bold, garlicky citrus sauce known as “mojo.” It’s simple, comforting, and bursting with flavor—perfect as a side dish or even a main course for plant-based eaters.

Mojo is a staple in Cuban cuisine, made with a combination of garlic, citrus (often sour orange), and olive oil, creating a tangy, savory sauce that enhances the mild, starchy yuca. Whether served alongside roast pork (lechón), grilled meats, or black beans and rice, this dish is a delicious way to experience the heart of Cuban home cooking.
