Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Peel and wash the yucca. Cut into pieces.
  2. 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.).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the spices, and butter or oil and pulse again until melded.
  6. 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.
  7. With your hands, form patties about the size of yo-yos. There should be about 15-20 of them.
  8. 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.).
  9. Pour canola oil in a frying pan and make sure the oil doesn't get too hot.
  10. Fry the patties in the oil, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  11. Blot on paper towels and serve with salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole or your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
