FRITURAS DE MALANGA (MALANGA FRITTERS)
This is a very popular Cuban & Miamian appetizer, and great for lunch or just a snack. The various species of malanga (Cuba) or yautia (Puerto Rico), include some of the oldest root tops in the world. It was first cultivated in tropical America, and spread to Africa, and is also grown in the Phillipines. Malanga has more flavor than most other tropical tubers, and has been described as more like nuts than potatoes. Refrigerate for about 3-4 hours.

MALANGA FRITTERS
Steps:
- Add the malanga to a food processor and pulse until a pasty-like consistency forms, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Using a mortar, mash the chile, parsley and the salt. Heat the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over low heat, add the Spices and Herbs Seasoning and saute for 1 minute. Add to the bowl with the malanga paste. Stir in the black pepper, cover and let stand for 1 hour. The batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Coat a heavy pan, with oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, drop the batter by tablespoons into the hot oil. Do not crowd. Fry the fritters until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the fritters to paper towels to drain. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.
- Put the 10 first ingredients in a blender or a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the parsley and stir to combine.
