PREPARATION:
- This recipe also works with whole butter (with lactose). In this case, remove it from the refrigerator to use it as an ointment or put it in the microwave for a few seconds, without letting it melt.
- This recipe can also be made with pre-sous vide cooked cassava, but it will still require further cooking to make it very soft.
- Start by cooking cassava/cassava/cassava. Buy it preferably already peeled – see preparation.
- Separate other ingredients and utensils from the recipe.
- Place some sugar and cinnamon on a plate that can accommodate your preparation once ready.
PREPARATION:
Cassava/Cassava/Macaxeira – Cooking (do this step before starting pre-preparation):
- Wash raw cassava/cassava/already peeled cassava.
- Cut into pieces of about 5 cm and place them in a pressure cooker.
- Add enough water to cover and place over high heat.
- When the water boils, cover it and let it come to pressure.
- Reduce the heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until soft and starting to open.
- If necessary, return to pressure to reach the desired cooking point.
- Drain it, remove the thick thread from the center and mash it with a fork, while still hot, until it reaches the consistency of a puree.
- Check the amount needed for the recipe and separate.
- Let cool.
- Continue pre-preparation (step 4).
Cassava/cava/macaxeira ravioli – gluten-free (PREPARATION OF THE DOUGH):
- In a bowl or food processor (optional), mix/beat the cooked cassava/cassava/cassava with the eggs, demerara sugar, ghee, and salt (pinch) until a moist dough forms.
- Then add the potato starch and mix/beat again.
- Add the grated coconut, mix or beat again and check the cooking – with two spoons try to make “gnocchi”, like “queneles” – if it is too liquid, add a little more starch.
- Add the yeast and mix/process again.
Guava paste (optional) (do this step before serving):
- Cut the guava paste into cubes and place in a pan.
- Cover the bottom of the pan with filtered water.
- Place over low heat and mix with a spatula.

- Using a dessert spoon, take 1 portion of the dough – equivalent to ¼ of a tablespoon – dip the dough into the hot oil and fry the cassava dumplings/cassava dumplings/cassava shower over medium heat until golden brown.
- Add the gnocchi to the pan little by little, so that they brown evenly.
