ENYUCADO (Cassava Feta Pie)

ENYUCADO (Cassava Feta Pie)

This is a traditional recipe for Enyucado. There are variants of this exotic pie all around Colombia. In some places, they add coconut milk to the dough, and in other places, the cheese is omitted. Either way, the result is a crispy, sweet and salty, delicious pie.
