Daily Menu, July 11th: a delightful journey from yuca beignets to Suzette crepes

Yuca beignets filled with cheese and orange spicy sauce are a delightful way to start your meal. These golden, crispy bites are made from frozen yucca, which is boiled until tender and then shaped into beignets filled with creamy mozzarella cheese. The addition of parsley and red bell pepper adds a fresh touch, while the orange spicy sauce, made with freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, and jalapeño, provides a perfect balance of sweetness and heat. Frying them until golden creates a crunchy exterior that gives way to a soft, cheesy center. Serve these beignets warm, and watch them disappear quickly as they make for an irresistible appetizer that sets the tone for the rest of your meal.
