How to make Cassava and Dried Meat Pie

Cooking Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan, place the hot cassava puree. Add the margarine, salt, and pepper, mixing until the margarine is fully absorbed.

  2. Step 2

    Then add the fresh cream and incorporate well. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a frying pan, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a little oil until the onion becomes transparent.

  4. Step 4

    Add the cooked, shredded, and desalted dried meat, and sauté for one minute.

  5. Step 5

    Then add the chopped tomatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  6. Step 6

    Grease a baking dish with oil. Layer half of the cassava puree on the bottom, then add the dried meat filling, and finish by covering with the remaining cassava puree.

  7. Step 7

    Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and grill in a hot oven for 5 minutes.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Desalt the dried meat properly. Soak it in water for several hours or overnight, changing the water a few times, then cook and shred it before using.

  2. Use a non-stick or well-oiled baking dish. This prevents the cassava from sticking and helps achieve a crisp top when grilling.
