Chef Tips
- Remove the central fibrous cord before kneading to ensure a smooth consistency.
- Heat the milk before mixing so as not to lower the temperature of the puree in the pot.
- Beat with a wooden spoon vigorously to aerate and soften the final consistency.
Variations
- Cassava Puree with Cheese: add one hundred grams of grated queijo de coalho or standard queijo minas to the puree while still hot in the pot.
- Rustic Mashed Potatoes with Golden Garlic: brown four sliced garlic cloves in butter before incorporating into the mashed cassava puree.
- Oven Gratin Puree: transfer the puree to a refractory, sprinkle parmesan, and take to a hot oven at 200°C for ten minutes.
Substitutions
- Traditional butter can be replaced by northeastern bottle butter to imprint an authentic rustic touch to the puree.
- Whole cow's milk can be substituted with homemade coconut milk for a fragrant side dish ideal for fish.
- Half the cassava can be swapped for Peruvian parsnip (mandioquinha) to enrich dish with golden color and sweetness.
How to Store
Store the puree in an airtight plastic or glass container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Cassava starch hardens with cold; Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, drizzling in four tablespoons of warm milk and stirring until creamy again.
Can You Freeze It?
Pode ser congelado por até sessenta dias em pote vedado. Ao descongelar em fogo baixo na panela, o purê pode parecer talhado; bata com espátula adicionando uma colher de manteiga morna para restabelecer a emulsão lisa.
What to Serve With
Pair with pot roast with dark sauce, charcoal-grilled pork ribs, grilled fish fillets, and loose white rice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I blend the cassava in a blender or electric mixer?
It is not recommended to beat at high speed, as it breaks the starch chains and turns the puree into an elastic, sticky paste.
What to do if the cassava takes a long time to soften in the pot?
Give a thermal shock by adding a glass of very cold water to the boiling pot; the change in temperature breaks the resistance of the fibers.
Como deixar o purê de mandioca mais aveludado?
Passe a mandioca cozida quente por uma peneira de aço pressionando com colher antes de acrescentar a manteiga e o leite aquecido.
Can I freeze raw peeled cassava to make puree later?
Yes, peeled raw cassava freezes perfectly for up to six months; cook directly frozen in boiling salted water.
