Directions:
- Peel and wash the yucca. Cut into pieces.
- Boil in salted water for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. (shorter time if you use a pressure cooker; which is just a dream in my current ghetto kitchen that has no $%*# space.).
- Plop the tender yucca pieces into the food processor. Add the flour as well. Rinse and drain the black beans and put them in too.
- Continuously pulse until the ingredients have pureed together- but not entirely pureed, about halfway. There needs to be some whole beans and yucca chunks in there or else there's nothing to chew on.
- Add the spices, and butter or oil and pulse again until melded.
- If your food processor is a pain in the $$ like mine, chances are some large yucca chunks and whole black beans are in there too. This is fine, I actually found this really added to the texture and flavor.
- With your hands, form patties about the size of yo-yos. There should be about 15-20 of them.
- Let the patties sit for a while (about 10 minutes. In my case, I had to run to class so I put them in a container in the fridge for 2 hours and fried them up when I returned.).
- Pour canola oil in a frying pan and make sure the oil doesn't get too hot.
- Fry the patties in the oil, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Blot on paper towels and serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole or your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
