Mandi'o Chyryry So'o
Mandi'o Chyryry So'o is a traditional Paraguayan dish made with mandioca (cassava) and leftover meat, typically asado (grilled beef).The name comes from Guarani: "Mandi'o" means cassava, "Chyryry" means fried or sautéed, and "So'o" means meat.This hearty dish repurposes boiled cassava, combining it with sautéed onions, eggs, and melted cheese for a rich, flavorful meal. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, a savory side, or a satisfying main course.
Ingredients
- 500 g leftover asado (grilled meat/barbecue) – adjust the quantity to taste
- 1 kg cooked yuca , cut into cubes
- 1 small onion , chopped
- 5 large eggs , room temperature
- 200 g shredded cheddar , Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or any melty cheese of your choice
- 1 bunch of green onions , chopped (white part and green part separated)
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or any neutral-flavored oil
- 2 teaspoons Knorr chicken bouillon or kosher salt , adjusted to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper , to taste
Instructions
- Finely chop the regular onion and green onion, keeping the white and green parts of the green onion separate. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and set them aside.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the meat, chopped onion, and the white parts of the green onion. Season with chicken bouillon (or salt) and pepper, then cook until the onions are lightly browned.
- Add the yuca pieces to the pan and cook until the bottoms are crisp and golden brown. Stir occasionally, ensuring they brown evenly on all sides.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, stirring continuously to coat all the ingredients. Cook until the eggs are fully set.
- Once the eggs are cooked, evenly sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, covering the entire surface.
- Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let the cheese melt. Once melted, remove the lid, garnish with the chopped green parts of the green onion, and serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Make-Ahead: You can pre-boil the yuca and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days before frying. Leftover meat, such as grilled or roasted beef, can be used. If using fresh meat, sear it before adding it to the dish.
Freezing: Not recommended.
