Ingredients

1. 1 kg of peeled cassava (yuca)
2. 2 liters of water with a little salt
3. 2 medium white onions
4. 2 red sweet peppers
5. 1 head of garlic
6. ½ cup of apple cider vinegar
7. 1 teaspoon of sugar
8. 2 tablespoons of olive oil
9. Salt and pepper to taste
10. Cilantro to taste

Preparation

Peel the cassava and cut it into chunks. Boil in salted water until soft (about 30–40 minutes).While it cooks, chop onions, red peppers, and garlic.

In a pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic, then onions and peppers. Add vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Let it simmer to create the mojo sauce. Drain the cassava and remove the fibrous core. Place cassava on a plate and pour the mojo sauce on top.

Garnish with cilantro and serve warm.

Ingredients

1. 1 kg cassava (peeled and boiled)
2. 2 tbsp butter
3. 1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or white cheese)
4. 1 egg
5. 1 lb ground beef
6. 1 onion, chopped
7. 1 red bell pepper, chopped
8. 2 cloves garlic, minced
9. Fresh cilantro (optional)
10. Salt and pepper to taste
11. Olive oil or vegetable oil

Preparation

Boil the peeled cassava until tender. Remove the tough core and mash well. Mix the mashed cassava with butter, cheese, salt, and an egg until you get a smooth dough.

In a separate pan, heat oil and sauté garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and seasoned. Add cilantro if desired. Let it cool slightly.

Grease a baking dish and spread half of the cassava mixture as the base. Add the ground beef filling evenly, then cover with the remaining cassava.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 30–40 minutes until the top is golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
