Croquettes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Yucca
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the yucca and cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Mash the yucca until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Mushrooms
In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in curry powder, coriander powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed yucca with the mushroom mixture. Mix until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Form the Croquettes
With your hands, take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a small oval or round patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Breading the Croquettes
Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip each croquette into the flour, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place on a tray.
