Yuca Con Mojo + Fried Yuca Patties

Have you ever cooked with the tropical starchy root yuca? Depending on the country you’re in, it’s also called cassava, tapioca, and manioc (among others). It is a staple starch in many parts of the world. It’s delicious, low FODMAP, and makes an excellent nightshade-free potato substitute! This recipe for Yuca con Mojo is a tangy traditional Cuban preparation of this delightful root. It tastes good at restaurants but it tastes GREAT when you make it from scratch at home!

Cuban Mojo Criollo Marinade and Dressing

Mojo Criollo is a traditional Cuban sauce made with sour orange juice and garlic. It’s a versatile marinade for meats and veggies and also works well as a raw dressing for slaw. It is easy to whip up a big batch and freeze in portions, too!
