Yuca al Mojo de Ajo (Cassava with Garlic Sauce)

Place yuca into a medium-sized pot. Pour in 6 cups of water and add salt. Simmer over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain the water and discard it. Set the boiled yuca aside.

Make mojo for yuca while the yuca is boiling by heating the oil in a small pan or saucepan over very low heat. Stir in the garlic. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Mix in parsley, bitter orange juice, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Serve yuca warm with mojo de ajo on the side.
