Meanwhile, prepare the manioc puree: peel, cut into pieces and place in a pan with water until covered. Cook covered over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until tender.

When the meat is ready, wash again and shred. Heat a skillet with the bottled butter and onion over medium heat, sauté until transparent, add the meat and cook until dry and browned.

Tip: If you can't find bottled butter, you can substitute vegetable oil.

Once the cassava is soft enough to crush, drain the water and mash it with a fork or potato masher. Add the milk, butter, salt and pepper to taste, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until it becomes a soft puree.
