Photo: Yucca Fries with Mojo Mayo Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 yucca, peeled and cut into wedges, 1/4-inch wide by 3 inches long
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 6 cups vegetable oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
- 2 cloves roasted garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha (an Asian chili sauce)
- 6 cups vegetable oil
Directions
1. Combine the yucca, chicken stock, vinegar, smashed garlic, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and let dry on a baking sheet.
2. Combine the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup cilantro, roasted garlic, lime juice, agave, and Sriracha in a small bowl.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F. In batches, fry the yucca for about 3 minutes, turning after each minute, until the fries are lightly golden. Drain on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and garnish with cilantro while warm.
Serve with the mojo mayo sauce.
