Ingredients
- 700g de Yuca (Cassava)
- 1kg de Chicken
- to taste de Calabresa Sausage
- to taste de Bacon
- to taste de Onion
- to taste de Garlic
- Tomato opcional
- Corn opcional
- Peas opcional
- Aipim (Yellow Sweet Potato/Yuca) opcional
Instructions
Cook the yuca separately until tender.
Cook 1 kg of chicken. Seasoning can be added during or after cooking, according to preference.
Dica: For better flavor absorption, some prefer to season the chicken during the cooking process.
Shred the cooked chicken, reserving the cooking broth.
Dica: It is suggested to shred the chicken by shaking the pot.
Dice the calabresa sausage (with or without the casing, to taste) and the bacon into medium or thick pieces.
Dica: The calabresa should be cut in a cross or star shape.
In a pot, place the bacon over medium heat to brown, skipping the addition of oil, as the bacon will release its own fat.
Dica: The bacon fat is sufficient to sauté the next ingredients.
When the bacon starts to lightly brown, add the calabresa and let both brown well.
Dica: This process should be quick due to the heat in the pot.
Add chopped garlic and onion (both to taste) to the pot and sauté until the aromas develop.
Dica: Onion and garlic should be added together ('in the same batch').
Incorporate the shredded chicken into the sautéed mixture and stir so that it absorbs the flavors.
Dica: This is the ideal time to add extra seasonings if they weren't used during the initial chicken cooking.
Add diced tomato. If desired, add corn, peas, and/or aipim (yellow sweet potato/yuca) now.
Blend the cooked yuca with the reserved chicken broth in a blender until a smooth cream is achieved.
Dica: The goal is to obtain a creamy and consistent texture, not a runny broth.
Pour the yuca cream into the pot with the sautéed meats and mix well, using movements from bottom to top, as taught by previous generations.
Dica: Stir until the desired creaminess is reached.
Serve the stew hot.
