Bollitos de Yuca Rellenos - Dominican Republic traditional dish

🧂 材料

2.5 lbs Yuca (cassava)(peeled and cut into chunks)
2 tbsp Butter
2 large Eggs(beaten)
3 tbsp All-purpose flour(plus more for coating)
2 tsp Sugar(optional, for a hint of sweetness)
1 tsp Anise seeds(optional)
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1 cup Cheese(shredded cheddar or mozzarella, or seasoned ground meat)
Oil for frying

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Boil the yuca chunks in salted water until very tender. Drain well and mash them into a smooth purée, ensuring there are no lumps. You can use a potato masher or a ricer.
2
Let the yuca purée cool slightly. Then, mix in the butter, beaten eggs, flour, sugar (if using), anise seeds (if using), and salt. Knead until a cohesive dough forms.
3
Prepare your filling: if using cheese, shred it. If using ground meat, cook it with seasonings (like onion, garlic, and spices) until done and let it cool.
4
Lightly grease your hands with oil or flour. Take a portion of the yuca dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Close the dough around the filling to form a ball or oval shape, ensuring it's well sealed.
5
Lightly coat the formed bollitos in flour.
6
Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Carefully add the bollitos in batches (do not overcrowd the pot) and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
7
Remove the fried bollitos with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
8
Serve hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

✓For best results, fry the bollitos in oil that is hot but not smoking.
✓You can also bake these bollitos at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden, for a healthier option.
