Chef Tips

- Remova o cordão fibroso central de cada pedaço de mandioca logo após o cozimento, antes de amassar - Amasse a mandioca imediatamente após escorrer, aproveitando o vapor e o calor residual para facilitar o trabalho - Adicione o leite morno aos poucos para controlar o ponto exato da consistência sem deixar o purê aguado

Variations

- Adicione 50 g de queijo parmesão ralado fino ou queijo minas curado para um purê com sabor salgado marcante - Misture 1 dente de alho assado e amassado junto com a manteiga para um toque aromático tostado - Incorpore 1 colher de sopa de requeijão cremoso no final para textura extra aveludada

Substitutions

- O leite integral pode ser substituído por leite desnatado, leite de amêndoas ou caldo de legumes caseiro - A manteiga pode ser substituída por azeite de oliva extra virgem ou manteiga clarificada (ghee) - A pimenta-do-reino preta pode ser trocada por pimenta-do-reino branca ou uma pitada de noz-moscada ralada

How to Store

Store the puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating in the pan, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm milk to recover the original creaminess.

Can You Freeze It?

Can be frozen in individual portions in bags or proper containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat over low heat stirring vigorously with a wire whisk to return homogeneity.

What to Serve With

It is a versatile side dish for pot roasts, roasted ribs, grilled fish fillets, or chicken medallions. Also pairs with roasted vegetables and mushroom sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best variety of cassava for mashed potatoes?

Cassava (also called yuca or manioc), preferably with fresh yellow or white pulp that cooks quickly and becomes soft.

Why shouldn't you blend cassava in the blender?

Beating in the blender or processor at high speed breaks the starch and turns the puree into a gummy and sticky paste. Always use a fork, potato masher, or hand mixer at low speed.

What to do if the cassava takes a long time to cook in a regular pot?

You can transfer the cassava to the pressure cooker with water and cook for 15 to 20 minutes after it reaches pressure to speed up the process.

How to make the puree even smoother without using a food processor?

Pass the cooked and still hot cassava through a potato ricer or coarse mesh sieve before mixing the milk and butter.
