Directions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Boil yuca in salted water until tender, about 30 minutes.
3. Drain yuca and place it in a serving dish. Set aside, but keep warm by covering bowl. Don't allow it to come back to room temperature while you make garlic sauce.
4. Combine onions, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic in a bowl. Pour mixture over yuca.
5. Heat olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a heavy pan until hot, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn spices. Pour hot oil over yuca. Garnish with additional cilantro and orange zest, as desired.
6. TIPS: You can use fresh or frozen yuca in this recipe. Fresh yuca should be firm with no soft spots. Its flesh should be white. If you buy fresh yuca, watch out for any tough parts in the center. They'll appear like chunks of wood. Remove and discard them. You can peel the yuca ahead of time and store it in water in the refrigerator for up to four days, or you can freeze it for several months. If the yuca cools off too much while you're making the sauce, you can microwave it very briefly, up to 5 seconds or so.
