Sauteed Yuca with Mojo

Number of servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 large yuca, peeled, and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup parsley
4 cloves garlic
2 limes, zested and juiced
Olive oil, as needed
Salt and pepper, as needed
3 tbsp oil, or more as needed
Salt, to taste

Directions:
1. In a food processor, pulse the cilantro, parsley, and garlic until finely chopped. Add the lime juice and zest, and pulse until combined.
2. With the food processor running, add the olive oil slowly until the mojo is smooth and has a sauce-like consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the yuca slices in a single layer in the bottom of the pan (you may have to work in batches, replacing the oil as necessary).
4. Saute until the yuca is golden and tender, about 7-9 minutes. Season with salt, and serve with mojo.
