Method

Preparation of Dough

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of maroa (cassava flour) and 1 teaspoon of salt.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add 1 cup of water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Preparation of Filling

  1. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of grated cheese, 1 cup of chopped cooked bacon, 1 tablespoon of sliced green onions, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

Cooking the Maroa

  1. 5

    Shape the Dough

    Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc shape.

  2. 6

    Fill the Dough

    Place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each dough disc. Fold the edges over to seal the filling inside.

  3. 7

    Cook the Maroa

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each filled maroa for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
