Ingredients

🌿 1 kg Yuca Cassava
🧀 300 g Fresh Cheese Queso Fresco
💧 Water 2 liters

Instructions

1- Prepare the Yuca:

• Start by peeling the yuca.
• Cut it into large, manageable pieces for easier handling.

2- Boil the Yuca:

• Fill a stainless steel pot with water and add the chopped yuca.
• Bring the water to a rolling boil on a Teka gas stove.
• Cook until the yuca becomes soft, which should take about 20-25 minutes.

3- Mash the Yuca:

• Drain the water and transfer the yuca to a clear glass bowl.
• Use a metal fork to thoroughly mash the yuca until it's smooth and free of lumps.

4- Prepare the Cheese:

• Grate 300 g of fresh cheese until it is in fine, shredded strands.

5- Combine Ingredients:

• Add the grated cheese to the bowl of mashed yuca.
• Using your hands or a fork, mix them together until the ingredients are fully combined and form a pale, cohesive dough.

6- Shape the Sonsos:

• Take portions of the yuca-cheese mixture and shape them into small elongated cylinders or your desired form to create the mini sonsos.

7- Grill:

• Heat a black, ridged grill pan on the stove.
• Once hot, place the shaped sonsos onto the grill pan.

8- Cook Until Golden:

• Grill the sonsos, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown with distinct grill marks on all sides.

9- Serve:

• Once cooked, remove the sonsos from the grill and serve them immediately while hot and crispy.
