Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 8 cakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Chiquita Yuca
  • 1 lb cod fillets
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tbsp of butter
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a small skillet over low heat, melt butter. Add onions and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes.

  2. Boil water in a pot and cook the frozen yuca for about 30 minutes or until tender all the way through. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl and mash. 

  3. Separate 1 cup of the mashed yuca and place in a medium bowl. In that same medium bowl place the fish, cooked onions and garlic, bread crumbs, cilantro, mustard, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream and eggs until well blended. Add to the fish mixture and mix well.

  5. Form the mixture into round cakes. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat fry the cakes in the oil, turning once, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with your favorite sauce or just limes.
