Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tapioca

    In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they become translucent and chewy. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked tapioca, grated cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Croquettes

    Take small portions of the mixture and form into dice-sized cubes. Roll each cube in breadcrumbs to coat.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the croquettes in batches and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Guava and Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine guava paste and balsamic vinegar. Heat over low heat, stirring until the guava paste has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the croquettes and drizzle with the guava and balsamic reduction before serving.
