Yuca or Casava is very popular in my native country, we make lots of different meals and sweets with it and this fritters are one of the most popular. We absolutely love them and they are very simple to make, the best part of this dish is that you can make tons of the fritters with 2 pounds.
Perfect for picnics or parties, and even just because you want to chance your dinner that day. This is my inspiration for todays #SundaySupper; I want it to share with you a different finger food, a vegetarian option and of course a delicious dish.
We enjoy the fritters with a pink or a tomato sauce, my personal favorite is this tomato sauce the am also sharing the recipe with you, it make the meal complete and give it an extra flavor.
You can also make a simple green salad, they are perfect with it or stuffed some lettuce and make a very creative hamburger.. Yum! I love how one dish change can completely if we just add different sides.
So let me know what you think and don’t worry, I’m sure your kids will love this fritters too.
