Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Frozen Yucca
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 2 tbsp Light Olive Oil or any other light oil (ex. avocado oil)
- 1/8 tsp Salt
Instructions
- In a pressure cooker place the frozen yucca and cover with water. Once the pressure cooker reaches pressure, cook the yucca for 3 minutes. You want the yucca's to come out soft but not too soft so you can cut them into strips.
- While the yucca is in the pressure cooker, peel two cloves of garlic, and using a garlic press, place them pressed garlic in a bowl. Add the light olive oil to the garlic and finally add the salt. Mix together.
- Once the yucca is done cooking for 3 minutes, carefully release the pressure from the pressure cooker. Drain the water.
- Place the yucca on a cutting board, and cut them into strips.
- Heat up oil in a frying pan, to about 380 deegrees. Place the strips of yucca into the hot oil and cook till golden-brown, for about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the yucca from the oil, onto a plate lined with paper towel to soak up the excess oil and lightly sprinkle the yucca with salt.
- Serve with the garlic mojo and enjoy!
