Bolivian Recipes: Asadito Camba

Asadito Camba is a typical dish from the east of Bolivia.

• 1 kg ground meat
  
• 1 kg cooked Yuca / Cassava
  
• ½ cup onions (chopped)
  

• 2 cloves of garlic
  
• Salt and Pepper
  
• Oil for frying

• 1. Peel the yuca or cassava and bring it to a boil.
  
• 2. When the yuca is cooked, then mash it.
  
• 3. Cut the onions into small cubes.
  
• 4. In a medium-sized pot, mix the chopped Yuca with the ground meat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
• 5. Mix everything until a smooth and homogeneous dough forms. Shape small balls of the desired size and flatten them until they have the shape of a hamburger.
  

• 6. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the meat-cassava mixture well.
  
• 7. Let it rest on kitchen paper so that the paper absorbs the excess oil and then, if there is still Yuca left, serve with cooked Yuca pieces.
  
• 8. Tip from Bolivianita.de: To cook Yuca easily, peel the Yuca and boil it in water with a teaspoon of salt.
