Pie Mandío

Peel and cut the mandioca into chunks, then boil in salted water until tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Drain the cooked mandioca thoroughly and pass through a ricer or mash until smooth.

Combine the mashed mandioca with corn flour, sifted flour, egg, fat, and salt in a large bowl, mixing until a firm dough forms.

Shred or finely chop the leftover meat and set aside.

Divide the dough in half and press the first half into a greased baking dish to form the bottom crust.

Distribute the prepared meat evenly over the bottom crust.

Press the remaining dough over the meat layer to create the top crust, smoothing the surface.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 40 minutes until the crust is golden and firm.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
