How To Make :

·         To make the mojo, use a food processor or mortar and pestle to crush garlic cloves and salt into a thick paste. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic paste, sour orange juice, and onion. Mix well and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

·         While mojo sits, peel yucca and cut into 2-inch sticks. Place in a saucepan with salt and just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until tender. Remove pan from heat and drain. Be sure to remove any tough parts from the center of the yucca. Leave yucca sticks in saucepan.

·         In another saucepan, combine mojo and oil. Cook over medium-high heat until bubbling. Remove from heat and transfer to saucepan with yucca. Toss lightly and sauté over medium heat until barely browned. Serve hot.
