Maria whipped up another incredible meal with Yucca today — Yucca Cakes stuffed with Chicken!!!
Here’s how she did it:
Preparation for Yucca Cakes:
- Boil Yucca until very soft and make into little yucca pancakes
- Shred some boiled chicken in a food processor
- Spoon the shredded chicken and on top of yucca
- Add a spoonful of hogao sauce on top and fold (to make a tart or stuffed cake)
- Pan fry yucca cakes with a little vegetable oil and flour and Mumbo Jumbo — EVERYDAY over medium heat until golden brown.
- Serve with tortillas and hogao sauce or salsa
Recipe for Hogao (pronounced O-Gow): mix olive oil, chopped tomato, diced onion, and chopped green onion

My friend Maria from Colombia has been teaching me a little about food from her country. She’s recently been making some incredible dishes with yucca. I had heard of and seen yucca in the store, but I had no idea how to cook with it.
Maria made a great side dish with “mashed” yucca the other day. We served it with some pork chops with Mumbo Jumbo — EVERYDAY and a thinly sliced green tomato…yum!
Here’s the “Mashed Yucca” recipe:
Instructions:
- Cut open yucca and remove “core”.
- Chop into small pieces and boil until tender (20 to 30 min.).
- In a separate dish mix olive oil, chopped tomato, diced onion, and chopped green onion (this is called Hogao and is pronounced “O-Gow”).
- In yet a separate pan (we like to wash dishes) scramble 1 egg and mix in Hogao.
- Add Hogao and egg mixture to yucca and sprinkle in Mumbo Jumbo — MESA seasoning.
- Stir yucca until you have a nice mashed consistency….Kapow!
Stay tuned for Yucca Cakes — Stuffed with Chicken tomorrow…
