I feel like I say this all the time but maybe I just love food. I love love love Yucca. It is one of my favorite side dishes at Christmas. (*Side note: Yucca is a healthy, fat-free & gluten-free root vegetable that has a brown outer skin and is white on the inside.Yucca is high in Vitamins C, B & A as well as calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron, and it's higher in fiber and potassium than potatoes)
I also think the Mojo is what makes it so special. I mean I love it at Christmas because my mom makes it soo good but I also love it at any Cuban restaurant and I also love it because IT IS SOOOO EASY TO MAKE! Try it! Let me know what you think.
