Yuca (Cassava) Canela-cheese Croquettes with spicy tomato mango sauce

Yuca (Cassava) Canela-cheese Croquettes with spicy tomato mango sauce

Chef Charly: "I've got yuca (cassava) boiling in here. I'm going to make some yuca croquettes. It's going to be good. When I'm thinking about how to serve 100 people, well, croquette's pretty easy and awesome because you fry them, which means that every few minutes, people are getting fresh croquettes."


Chef Charly (presenting to judges): "So I made these yuca croquettes filled with the canela cheese. And then we have a tomato mango sauce on the side. Canela has a honey note to it that I think works really well with the fruitiness of the mango and the tomato sauce."



Judges (behind the scenes)




Why don't you just put a little more cheese?




The croquette itself is a little under seasoned.




Yeah.




Yes.




Here is an example where the cheese is quite mild. The yucca is heavy. I didn't taste the cheese, especially when you dunked it in the tomato mango sauce.





It's a mango tomato sauce kind of soup ish, but more saucy.
