Ingredients:
– 1 lb yuca, peeled and grated
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 eggs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the grated yuca, chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
2. Add the all-purpose flour to the yuca mixture and mix until it forms a slightly sticky dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to make it too thick.
3. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them lightly before adding them to the yuca mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together until well combined.
4. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the fritters when frying.
5. Take a spoonful of the yuca mixture and carefully drop it into the hot oil. Use the back of the spoon to shape the mixture into a round fritter.
6. Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining yuca mixture until you have cooked all the fritters.
9. Serve the Bolinho De Mandioca Yuca fritters hot and crispy, alongside your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh salad for a complete meal or snack.
