Step 1
Place the 1 lb yuca chunks in a pot, cover with water, add 1/2 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
While yuca cooks, make the mojo: in a small skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, without browning.
Step 3
Stir in the 1/4 cup sour orange juice (or lime-orange mix) and remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Step 4
Drain the cooked yuca and transfer to a bowl. Pour the warm mojo over it and toss gently to coat.
Step 5
Sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and serve warm.
