Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds yuca

- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 6 tablespoons parsley, minced
- 6 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

- Make the garlic sauce 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 you find it necessary.
