Yuca Fritters With Pickled Red Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, stand each piece upright and carefully slice off the skin.
• Grate the yuca on the small holes of a box grater.
• Add the grated yuca to a large bowl, along with the softened butter, egg, sugar, anise seeds, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a high-walled skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• Working in batches, scoop 2 tablespoons of the yuca mixture at a time into your hand and gently press into a ½-inch (1 ¼ cm)-thick fritter. Place on the edge of a metal spatula and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry the fritters for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Serve the fritters warm.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large jar, add sliced onions and about 2 teaspoons of salt. Cover and shake well. To the jar, add a splash of olive oil, cover, and shake again. Repeat with a splash of lime juice.
• Add a pinch of salt to the sliced habanero, then add to jar. Add remaining olive oil, lime juice, two big pinches of salt, and two big pinches of oregano. Shake one more time to fully combine. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably 24, before using. (Store for up to two weeks in lidded jar in refrigerator.)

Steps:

• Put the yuca pieces in a heavy-bottomed saucepot and cover with cold water. Season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, add the vinegar, lime juice, sour orange juice, olive oil, garlic and red onions to a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooled yuca and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the parsley.

Steps:

• Combine parsley, garlic, lime juice, and extra virgin olive oil and set aside. This is your mojo sauce. In a large pot with oil heated to at least 350 degrees, fry yuca until golden brown season with salt and pepper when hot. Serve yuca with the mojo sauce on top.
