👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Boil the cassava in salted water until very tender. Drain well and mash or process until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the cassava is completely cooked and soft for an easy mash. - 2
In a bowl, combine the mashed cassava, cornmeal, butter, egg, and salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more cornmeal.
💡 Профессиональные советы: The dough should be firm enough to handle without being sticky. - 3
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded beef, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and any additional seasonings you prefer for the filling (e.g., a pinch of cumin, paprika, or finely chopped onion).
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the filling is well-seasoned and moist. - 4
Divide the cassava dough into small portions. Flatten each portion into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Work with one portion of dough at a time to prevent it from drying out. - 5
Place a spoonful of the beef and egg filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal.
💡 Профессиональные советы: You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish. - 6
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough for deep-frying (around 180°C or 350°F).
💡 Профессиональные советы: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. - 7
Carefully fry the Pastel Mandi'o in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3-5 minutes per batch.

Remove the fried Pastel Mandi'o with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot.
