Dominican Yuca Fritters (Arepitas de Yuca)

Now these are awesome! A tasty side in Dominican cuisine. A little bit of work with the grating but so worth it. This will also be my first video blog recipe in my new Youtube channel so you’ll be able to follow me from beginning to end on how to make these delicious Yucca Fritters!

Ingredients:

1 cup Mazola Corn Oil for frying.
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 beaten egg
1 tsp anise seed
1/4 tsp ground oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions:

Grate the yuca using the smallest size of the grater.

In a medium bowl, combined the yuca, butter, egg, anise seed, salt, oregano and sugar. Mix together until very well combined.

In a frying pan, heat up the oil over medium heat. Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the oil, one at a time. Cook until the fitter has turned golden brown, for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess grease.
