Instructions
- Wash the cassava roots thoroughly and peel them, then cut into small cubes.
- Rinse under cold water. Place the cassava in a saucepan and cover with cold water, then add salt and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 35 minutes.
- Drain and purée cassava with a potato masher.
- Mix the cassava and the grated cheeses and knead them by hand.
- While kneading, add the butter, egg, and milk gradually. The cheeses are salty, so season lightly with salt.
- Knead well until obtaining a homogeneous and slightly firm dough.
- Divide the mixture in 8 to 10 balls.
- Spread the balls of mashed cassava around half of each skewer, leaving a small empty space at the top of the skewer.
- Place the skewers on a hot grill or griddle until the cassava is golden brown.
- Once the sonsos de yuca are golden brown and hot, place them on a flat surface to let them cool slightly before eating.
