A carimañola, also called caribañolas, yuca fritters, or pastel de yuca, is a traditional fried food commonly found in the Caribbean coastal regions of Colombia and Panama. It is made primarily from yuca (cassava) dough, which is stuffed with ground beef, shredded chicken, or cheese, and then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Carimañolas are typically eaten as a breakfast item, snack, or appetizer.
== Preparation == The preparation of carimañolas begins with peeling and boiling fresh yuca until it becomes soft. Once cooked, the yuca is mashed into a dough-like consistency, with a small amount of butter, oil, or salt. The dough is then divided and shaped into small ovals or torpedo-like forms. In some variations, the filling may include sautéed onions, garlic, bell peppers, or cumin.
