Ingredients
- 1 lb yuca $1.55, fresh or frozen
- 4 tsp kosher salt $0.16, divided
- 2/3 cup olive oil $0.84
- 1/3 cup white vinegar $0.41, distilled
- 3 bay leaf $0.30
- 1/2 tsp black peppercorns $0.05
- 1 tsp adobo seasoning $0.04
- 1 yellow onion $0.42, sliced in half moons
- 8 cloves garlic $0.34, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup Spanish olives $0.33, aka Manzanilla olives, sliced
- 1/8 cup olive brine $0.09
Instructions
- If the yuca is fresh, peel and split it into 4-inch long quarters. Remove the woody center root. If the yuca is frozen, split it into 4-inch halves. Make sure the woody center has been removed and then cut each half in half.
- Add yuca to a Dutch oven or other large heavy-bottomed pot. Add water until you cover the yuca by two inches. Add 2 teaspoons of salt. Boil until the yuca is fork-tender but not mushy, about 25 to 30 minutes. Then drain the yuca and cool.
- While the yuca cooks, set a small pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and warm. Add the vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaf, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, adobo, onions, garlic, olives, and olive brine to the warm oil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.
- Add the yuca to a large bowl. Cover the drained yuca with escabeche. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to develop the flavors, then serve.
