Paraguayan cassava-starch cheese bread roasted around a wooden stick.
About Chipa Cabure
Camila Benítez describes chipa caburé, also called chipa asador or kavuré, as Paraguayan cheese bread roasted over embers on a stick. This profile selects her explicitly identified traditional Queso Paraguay option rather than her convenient Mexican cheese blend.
Cassava starch gives the dough its chewy character, with cheese, butter, eggs and milk providing richness. Anise seeds remain an optional aromatic ingredient, while the optional cornmeal addition is not selected.
The bread forms a long hollow shape when it slips off the stick. Its exterior becomes golden and lightly crisp, with a soft, chewy centre and the smoky note described by the author.
