Steps:
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper to a small blender (like a Nutribullet).
- Blend until the sauce is smooth. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula a couple of times and then continue blending.
- Refrigerate the cilantro garlic sauce until ready to use. Give it a good stir right before serving.
- Add 3 - 4 quarts of water to a large pot.
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
- Carefully add the yuca to the boiling water. Use tongs to lower the yuca into the water.
- Cover the pot and cook the yuca for approximately 20-25 minutes. Stirring gently occasionally.
- Cook the yuca until it is tender. A knife should slide in and out without offering resistance. If it does not, continue cooking.
- Test the yuca after the first 15 minutes of cooking. Then gauge the remaining cooking time from there.
- Drain the yuca completely. Use a strainer and let all of the water drain and steam away.
- When the yuca is cool enough to handle, arrange it on a pan or large platter. Do not stack it. Let it cool completely, or refrigerate the yuca until it is chilled and firmed up.
- Cut the yuca into thick pieces, about 1 inch thick and at least 3-4 inches long.
- Remove and discard the stringy, woody pieces. They resemble really thick twine.
- Add enough oil to a deep, large skillet to cover the bottom by about 1 inch.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, but not smoking add some of the yuca pieces to the skillet. Do not overcrowd the skillet, fry in batches.
- Fry the yuca for 2 minutes.
- Turn each piece and fry for 2 minutes.
- Fry the yuca for one more minute turning any pieces that need to brown further. The yuca should be a light golden color on all sides.
- Remove the yuca with a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate or pan that is lined with a paper towel. As soon as they are all out, sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
- Repeat with the steps above with the remaining yuca.
- Serve the yuca frita with the cilantro garlic sauce

YUCA FRITA CON MOJO
Who doesn't love something fried? That's how I first got turned on to yuca, now I cook it regularly. It's a starchy tuber, similar textured to that of a potato and is served with a lovely garlicky, orange dipping sauce. - Deeanna Dickey, Denver, Colorado

YUCA FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Place the sliced yuca in a large pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for 15 to 30 minutes - the time can vary a great deal, because yuca can vary greatly in its woodiness. You want the yuca to still be a little firm - just tender enough to pierce it with a fork. Drain the yuca and place it on a cutting board to cool for a few minutes. When the yuca is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/2-to-3/4-inch planks. (If there are any woody cores to the tubers, discard them.)
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or French fryer to 360°F, and fry the yuca. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with Sour Orange Mojo .
