Yuca Empanadas
Start Cooking
Prepare the Meat Filling
-
Sauté your shallots until tender. Add in garlic and sauté together for approximately 30 seconds.
-
Add in your ground beef and mix with BBQ sauce until all cooked and brown. Set aside.
Prepare the Yuca
-
Peel and cut down the yuca. Boil in a large pot of water until tender; approximately 25 minutes. Let cool and remove hard center thread.
-
Mash with a potato masher and add in chopped pepper, garlic powder, parsley, salt and egg. Blend all together with two tablespoons of tapioca starch and set aside.
Assemble the Empanadas
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Have prepared a half cup of tapioca starch and your meat filling.
-
Place a bit of tapioca starch in your hands. Scoop approximately a quarter cup of the yuca mixture and flatten out into a two-and-a-half-inch circle.
-
Place one heaping tablespoon of cooked ground meat in the center. Bring one end to the other, closing the empanada into an oval shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush each with egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
