Peel the @cassava{1%kg} if it isn't already, and cut it into thick chunks.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the cassava, and cook until a fork slides through easily, about 25 minutes. ~{25%minutes}

Drain well and pick out the tough woody core running through each piece; keep the yuca warm in the pot.

Heat the @olive oil{100%ml} in a small pan over medium and add the @garlic{8%clove} and @onion{1} rings; cook until just turning golden, about 4 minutes. ~{4%minutes}

Pull the pan off the heat and pour in the @lime{2} and @orange{1} juice — it will hiss and sputter.

Pour the hot mojo straight over the warm yuca and let it drink 5 minutes before serving. ~{5%minutes}
