Carimañola
Cassava pastries filled with beef, green onion and red pepper.
About Carimañola
My Colombian Cocina’s carimañolas de carne are cassava pastries with a beef filling. The original recipe identifies them among the typical foods of Colombia, Panama and Brazil; this profile follows its beef version.
Green onion and red pepper flavour the meat, with a chicken-bouillon cube used in its preparation. Salt and pepper provide the seasoning, while olive oil enriches the aromatic filling.
The soft cassava dough encloses the finely ground meat. A wheat-flour dusting covers the outside before frying, giving the finished pastries a golden surface. Lemon slices are an optional accompaniment.
