CASSAVA FRITTERS

Cassava Fritters image

In my search for gluten-free anything, I came across this root vegetable called Cassava (or Mogo in Africa). It's actually the root of the Yucca plant but it is an amazing, flavourful food. It tastes like deep-fried potatoes and slightly like bread with a very slight hint of sweetness. Once I found this vegetable, I decided I'd experiment with it to see what I can come up with. This is the first one with MUCH success, as my kids ate it with no complaints and asked for more even though they were full. This is excellent for breakfast, a side dish, a snack, a lunch, whatever you want!

Time 1h

Yield 8 fritters, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb cassava, frozen
3 eggs
4 ounces aged cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
4 -6 teaspoons butter

Steps:

Boil cassava in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain cassava and cover in cool water for 5 minutes.
Drain cassava again and put into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash well. **Do not use a food processor as this turns it too gooey**.
Mix in the 3 eggs, seasoning salt and garlic. Stir well.
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Melt 1-2 teaspoons of the butter.
A soup ladle works perfectly for the amount of mixture you will need per fritter. Spoon one ladleful and spread out until a little bit bigger than the palm of your hand. Repeat the process until the frying pan is full. (My frying pan holds 4).
Fry on one side for 5-6 minutes, checking to make sure you don't burn the bottom. Once nicely browned and holding together, flip over and cook another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
Serve.

Peel the cassava; cut it lengthwise and then in smaller pieces. Place in a pot and cover with water. Cook for 30-45 minutes until the cassava is soft enough to make a puree with it. Note: This time will depend on how old the cassava is and on the size of the pieces.
Once the cassava is cooked, drain the cooking water, and smash using a potato masher to form a puree. The cassava has some veins that can be removed by pulling them with your fingers, or you can use a strainer to remove any of these veins by pressing the puree with a wooden spoon. It is normal if you have some lumps of the cassava puree.
Personally, I like the dough very smooth, so I pass all the dough through the strainer, pressing it with a wooden spoon, and then I set it aside to cool. (PREPARE THE SYRUP, INSTRUCTIONS BELOW)
Once the cassava mixture has cooled, place it in a large bowl and stir in the egg, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix and knead until you have a smooth dough. Place it in the fridge for at least one hour. It will be less sticky and easier to work with. Add a couple of tablespoons of flour if you need to while forming the dough.
