This was good, but needed a lot more onions. It comes out a bit dry and taste lacking - like it takes on the taste of what you cook it in.

Beautiful, simple flavor. My husband and I loved this recipe. I added lemon zest as well, because we like a stronger lemon flavor. This is the first time I have tried yucca and definitely not the last. Thank you!

My lovily cuban neighbor shared many recipes with me when he saw my love for cooking, as with many reviews given, the cook time is a bit off, as the yucca in the markets is not as good as the fresh that AL would bring over from his garden, if fresh, than about 20 mins if not fresh than 25-30, some things he recommended: Lime juice instead of lemon, it gives a different dimention, I also was told to heat the oil than pour over the lemon or lime, garlic, and zest, if you like, along with a couple pats of butter, it gives a lovily addition to this dish. I than garnish with citantro, and finely chopped green onion... but will be trying the chives...it looks really yummy on the picture.

I really liked this; I decided to cut it up into 5-6cm chunks and then toss it in a bowl with the onion mixture to get it more evenly distributed. Needs a little bit of sea salt sprinkled on it when served.

My husband is from Brazil and just boils the yucca which I find boring. This recipe is perfect... we both enjoyed it.

I just finished making this... I boiled the yucca for roughly 25 minutes, maybe a tad bit longer. I heated the oil, garlic and onion (I used two small onions), lemon and lime juice, (at the suggestion of one of the other reviewers) threw in a pinch more salt and pepper to the pan, then stirred everything together. It is delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS!!!! I will happily make this again

Great! I do not like to add lemon juice or any citric to my yucca so I left that out.

Went to the outdoor market and saw a yucca. I had never tried it so I bought it. Found this recipe, it sounded like it would go with our stuffed Poblano pepers. I gave it 4 stars because not everyone liked it. Personally I did. It does need to cook for 25 min( as other reviewers said) The texture of yucca is like turnips (not the taste). I will try yucca again maybe with a sweet sauce and see if it goes over better. Thanks for posting the recipe.
