Ingredients
- 500 g of Yuca Precook
- 1 chopper onion
- 1 chopped red bell pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 whole egg
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1 splash of Único Olive Oil
- 1 pinch of Complete Seasoning
Preparation
- Prepare the filling. Sauté the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened. Add the shredded meat and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavours to blend.
- Shape the croquettes. Take a portion of the mashed cassava and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the centre, then carefully fold the cassava around it to form a croquette, sealing the edges.
- Coat the croquettes. Dip each croquette into the beaten egg, then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Fry until crispy. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the croquettes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Let them cool slightly before serving, and enjoy!
