  2. Meanwhile, place the olive oil, onion, garlic, and lemon juice into a pan. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes. Pour the hot olive oil mixture over the yuca, and serve immediately.

Recipe Note

Made with yuca, or cassava, a Latin American root vegetable similar to potatoes, this simple dish is the way my granny used to make it.
