Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole yucca
Salt
4 tablespoons melted butter
4 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 red onion, diced
1 aji amarillo, rib and seeds removed, diced
1 clove garlic
Salt and pepper
5 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
1 hard-boiled egg, plus chopped hard-boiled egg, for garnish, optional
1/2 cup heavy cream
Nicoise olives, for garnish, optional
Cilantro leaves, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Peel yucca and cut into 4 cylinders; then split in half and remove the root. Place yucca in a large pot. Add enough water to cover yucca and season with salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until fork tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool. Brush with butter and place on grill. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and season with salt.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion, aji, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and saute until onion becomes translucent. Remove from heat and add to blender. Add cheese and hard-boiled egg and blend. Slowly drizzle in heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons oil until sauce consistency. Adjust salt before serving.
  • Serve yucca with huancaina sauce, garnished with hard-boiled egg, olives, and cilantro.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The yucca was perfectly cooked and the huancaina sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this dish for my Peruvian friend and she said it was the best yucca she had ever had. I'm so glad I found this recipe!

This is now my go-to recipe for grilled yucca. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. The huancaina sauce is the perfect complement to the crispy yucca.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my yucca didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I will try grilling it for a longer amount of time next time.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. The yucca was soft and tender, and the huancaina sauce was creamy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

The yucca was a bit dry, but the huancaina sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the yucca for a shorter amount of time.
