Yuca Frita with Mojo

Cover cassava with cold water in a saucepan, add a pinch of salt and boil until a knife slides in easily but the pieces still hold together. Frozen pre-cut yuca needs only about 12 minutes.

Drain boiled yuca and let it steam dry for 5 minutes. Pull out the woody string in the center, then cut into thick fries. Toss with olive oil and the rest of salt.

Air fry yuca fries in a single layer, in batches if needed, shaking the basket halfway, until golden and crisp.

Stir garlic, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil and cilantro together with the last pinch of salt.

Serve crisp yuca hot with mojo for dipping or spooned over the top.
