Poutine De Yucca Recipes

YUCCA BUNS (PAN DE YUCCA)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Combine the tapioca flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out. Knead the dough with your hands until the dough is smooth, even-textured, and not sticky. If the dough doesn't come together or seems too stiff, then add cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it comes together and feels supple.
• Divide the dough into 10 even pieces and with your hands, roll each into a ball. Shape the balls into ovals and place them 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the rolls are pale gold (not browned), about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes and serve while still warm. Serve with Pineapple Marmalade, if desired.
• Combine the pineapple, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, lemon zest, lemon juice and jalapenos in medium saucepan.
• Bring mixture to a rapid boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
• Remove from heat and cool before serving.
• Store in refrigerator for up to 1 month or in the freezer for 6 months.

MEXICAN POUTINE

Steps:

• For the duck: Remove the duck meat from the bones and discard the bones. Add the duck fat to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until warm. Add the duck meat and orange zest and fry, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• For the chorizo: Cook the chorizo in the same skillet until brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• For the cheese sauce: Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a medium saucepan. Turn off the heat and add both cheeses. Meanwhile, char the poblano under the broiler or on the flame of a gas grill until the skin is blackened all over, about 4 minutes. Cool, then peel, dice and stir into the sauce. Set aside.
• For the pico de gallo: Mix together the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion and cilantro in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For the poutine: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

FRIED YUCCA

Steps:

• Method:
• Slice yucca paper-thin, sprinkle with salt. Heat oil to near-smoking 360 to 375 degrees F. Drop yucca chips into oil. Fry until they float to top, and are golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

MASHED YUCCA

Steps:

• Wash and peel the fresh yucca or thaw the frozen. Place in a small saucepan, and add water to cover and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . When the yucca is cool enough to handle, pull each root apart and remove the large fibrous veins near the center, keeping the flesh in large chunks.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic until tender but not brown. Add the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Bring to a boil and add the yucca. Stir and mash with a wooden spoon until a lumpy mixture is formed. Transfer to a baking dish. Cover and bake 10 minutes. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

CHUCK'S AWESOME POUTINE

Steps:

• Clean and peel potatoes. Using a French fry cutter, cut the potatoes into fries or, alternatively, cut the potatoes into desired size. Place the fries in a large bowl filled with cold water and let sit for 1 hour and up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries.
• In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat and saute the shallots and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the veal stock, ketchup, cider vinegar, peppercorns, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan on medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, making a roux. Allow to brown slightly. Whip the roux mixture into the stock and let simmer for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half and thickened. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• In a deep-fryer set to 250 degrees F, blanch the fries in oil for about 2 minutes. Remove the fries and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Then, fry them again for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined baking tray to absorb the excess oil. Salt and pepper the fries while hot. Remove the sauce from the stovetop and strain. Plate the fries in a shallow bowl, pour sauce on top and garnish with cheese curds.

GRILLED YUCCA WITH HUANCAINA SAUCE

• 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.

POUTINE DE YUCCA

Steps:

• Season the pork with salt and pepper. In a heavy-bottomed pressure cooker, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add the chicken stock, onion, carrot, wine, celery and thyme. Cover and cook until the meat shreds easily with a fork, 2 to 3 hours. Remove the pork from the cooking liquid, reserve the cooking liquid. Shred the pork and set aside. Transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan and cook the jus until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the yucca until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and cut into cubes.
• Fill a large heavy-bottomed saucepan halfway with oil and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer measures 350 degrees F. Cook the yucca until it is crispy and golden on the outside and hot on the inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked yucca to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt and pepper.
• To serve, divide the yucca between 3 plates. Top with some of the shredded pork, cheese curds and jus. Garnish with the green onions and parsley.
