    I am not a Latina but my stomach is. Having grown up with Latin caribbean food, I know asking team yuca or platano is like asking who do you love best mom or dad.

    Am Filipino Americano retired and living in the Philippines, and just finished eating my Yucca Dominican Mojo. Missed so much the Spanish dishes while in NY/NJ/PA states... Thanks for sharing your recipe. Take care.

      I like to have the yuca very soft but I can never get it that way....how long should they boil to get a soft consistency?

    I am Yuca, however, I grew up in Washington Heights NYC. My parents are Cuban in Puerto Rican, but I have Dominican tendencies I love both. I make my onions both ways with a little tweak. I usually make my mojito Criollo as a glaze over the Yuca making with the white onions. Now, with the red onions I use a red wine vinegar to pickle the onions. Giving a little bit of a sweetness. Thank you for everything.

    Congrats, I saw you yesterday while searching channels on Univision; you looked great (as always). love your recipes, and since they are somewhat like my grandmother's I twist them around to get her flavor, cause she did not leave a recipe book; I've forgotten most of them and she taught me to cook "al gusto". My daughter gets annoyed cause I don't measure and she can't follow. thanks for your videos

  • @NishCorner
    @NishCorner 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this quick easy break down. I’m from TRINI but growing up in NY always loved Dominican food. I grew up on Yuca in the Caribbean so when Spanish friends put me on I was so excited to find a comfort food. Today will be my first time making it on my own and thanks for your tips ❤

    It's so funny that you mentioned the tenderness of the yuca because on sunday we got some yuca from the Dominican restaurant with some Guineo verde and it was hard as a rock. We were laughing at how hard it was but it was not very good. I love to have the yuca softer and it taste a lot better with the onions in my opinion. But now seeing how easy it is to make I will just buy some and make it myself!!

  • @martamccool2740
    @martamccool2740 ปีที่แล้ว

    You make it difficult because both plátano and yuca are equally deliiiiissssciousssss, I will said 50 / 50 o better said 100 and 100% and that’s the reality of the rich experience of the Latin food! We are lucky having the influencia of so many countries around the world and create from that all new and rich flavors and styles of do it and combínate it and play with the explosion and sensation of the Latin food!

  • @julianelbigboss

  • @PJEC
    @PJEC 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm team Cuban! Cubans don't live without either. Cooking the yucca in pressure cooker with the onion, garlic and lemon 🍋 😋 is the bomb because that season will be reinforced in the Yucca

    I’ve always had the Cuban style yuca 😋 but i loveeee the pickled red onions on mangu so I’m definitely going to have to try the Dominican version! Platano vs yuca tough… but I have to go with yuca.

  • @nelsonbernier9335
    @nelsonbernier9335 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I blanch my onions 🧅one minute in the hot water that I'm going to use to cook my Yuca. Later on, I warm Olive Oil, Vinegar, Garlic Paste & the Onion to top the Yuca. I learn about blanching the onion in hot water by a Dominican who was making Mangu. 😋😍
