Chef Julio's Making Pasteles Video

[@spideyg758]

I made Pasteles for years with my grandmother... She passed away a few years ago. Before she passed I recorded her preparing and making the Pasteles. My mom and I cried the entire time we watched her video... BUT our Pasteles came out AMAZING!!! Great idea to you tube this recipe. Great Job!!!

[@zflore34]

This is the first video I come across, where the chef actually shows step by step how to make pasteles and in a variety, which is wonderful. I used to buy them already done but now I'm going to do them myself. Thank you Chef Julio.

[@aliceknows3375]

Thanks the raisins, olives and chilies in the pasteles, a lot of people don't like that combo, I love it. Ok so now I have to make for my family and all us transplanted New Yorkers.🤗🤗🤗😋😋😋

[@Trid3nt861]

my mother (God bless her soul,though she passed away in 03) used to make these alot. If only I could've learned to make it the way she did. Im glad to be a descendant of Puerto Rican history.

[@Thacebenbrie3]

You are truly an ARTISTE. This is very detailed, but unlike some others, you did not leave anything out. Everything from scratch no shortcuts. I am saving this video. So that I can study again and make this wonderful recipe. God Bless you!

[@m.v.1230]

Don Julio su receta y sus videos son tremendos. Usted es un tesoro Boricua. Da gusto y orgullo ver sus videos. Gracias por compartir con nosotros.

[@mariatgarcia7564]

The music brings back memories,of old time making pastels with grandma.one hundred and fifty pastels,my aunt's were also helping,by , peeling

[@carmenmroman2635]

The best puertorican pastels recipe in the entire web. chef Julio you steal get it for long,long time. God, bless.

[@joanngreves5040]

Wow! You just transported me to a busy kitchen somewhere in Brooklyn, ions ago- where my pops and my mom's abuela, would shoot the breeze all night, rallando la masa...making these lovely creations. ¡Gracia, señor Gonzalez. Que bendición.

[@linasalazar7496]

Thank you 🙏 You are the first Puerto Rican person who made it just the way the Puerto Rican people make it a denticle. I was a maze, Mucha Gracia thank you from the bottom of my heart two thumbs up 👍 👍for you that is my people dishes pasta, 💕💕💕💕🙏

[@hectornegron9155]

Best video I've seen so far and just what I wanted, to share with my non Hispanic friends. The vegetarian pastel for that special friend who doesn't like or can't or chooses not to eat meat is a great idea I had never thought about. Yes Julio you still got it Brother. Thank you very much.

[@donaelena930]

I don't add condense milk to mine there are other way to do the masa smooth, many people can't tolerated milk and tend to have a heavy digestion because of it, I was born a race on the Island my recipe has 100 year comes form my great great grandma, totally authentic. Chef Julio has a great diversion of it love the clean way he works and how he detail it in to the process of making it.

[@irvingnavarro1413]

Chef Julio, Today after so many years that we've stopped making pasteles, my wife and I tried your recipe. May God bless you for sharing it with the world. I have not have pasteles this good in years. Me and the wife had this urge to make our own for this holiday season. Although her and I come from families who had their recipes, it had been many years since we've made them. So we climb unto the You Tube bandwagon, and there it was, 'Chef Julio's making pasteles video'. We followed it to the strictest procedure, ingredient, and condiment until like magic, presto, the best pasteles we've ever had in my life. There was one thing that I didn't quite get, how much achiote to put in to make it the right color. I guess that comes in with many more tries. Again me and the wife thank you, may God bless you with many more years. I love the part of the video when you said, "I still got it", indeed you do. Tito and my wife, from Orlando, FL.

[@meccagold2009]

I am so freaking hungry now! No wonder they taste so good there such a labor-intensive dish. I'm tired of complaining about no pasteles. This video will help. I will become self sufficient!

[@KawigurlKawasaki]

Freaking awesome!!!! I thought no one knew how to make these!!!! They're so damn good !!!! I can eat these all day long !!!! OMG THEYRE THE BEST. ...

[@millieguerra3446]

La música me transporta a PR cuando mis abuelos, mis tios , mi hermana y yo madrugabamos para recoger cafe. Que recuerdos y que tiempos tan inolvidables y hermosos. 🇵🇷

[@yanisleidysoto]

Very detailed explanation. I am Cuban but my husband of 12 years is Puerto Rican, can't wait to make them for him. Best pasteles vídeo I have seen!! God bless you ;)

Yes! The Carnation Milk is Old School from back in P.R. a lot of so called Pastele makers dont use it....But, they have no idea the difference they make in texture to the Masa! I loved your Video...Thanks much for sharing the true Boriqua Pastele secret💗🎵🎶🌴

Chef Julio, thank you for such thorough explanation for doing such an important dish of our culture Puertoriquena. I did this exact pernil pasteles recipe and everything was so delicious! Keep the videos coming!

[@jcruzjcruz3578]

This is how my mom made pasteles de masa. It is authentic! Over the years people have made various changes to the real recipes with shortcuts and ingredients on hand. So I enjoyed the video and appreciate the time involved in making this delicious creation. Great job on the video! Congratulations Chef Julio!

[@allorganicplanting]

I'm so so happy I found your utube page . Now I can make them.❤

[@StylezbyEmily]

I'm making this for the first time in my life! I'm born and raised In Puerto Rico. I'm getting back to my roots and why not start with this! Loved Ur video. I'm going to make the pork pasteles. Thank U so much for such a great video.

[@deemari577]

I've checked out other Puerto Rican pastelles, Dominican, Trinidadian on KZbin and I think Chef Julio's recipe is the best.

[@Emaldonado2]

Thank you so much i use to make this with my family and now most of them r gone with he knowledge of how to make pasteles and this saddened me because as a young P.R. I wanted to keep the tradition going. Thanks to u i can. God bless!

[@oterrabcire]

Master Chef Senior Julio.... I have wanted to make pasteles myself for so long since my grandmother could no longer carry on due to her age. You made a very cohesive video that shows step by step how to make it without feeling intimidated. I'm definitely going to try to make these for this holiday season. Muchas gracias.

[@sabrinawalker4172]

Thank you, I always wanted to learn how to make Pasteles, I am going to surprise my kids this holiday.

EL CHEF JULIO ES UN AMOR DE PERSONA NNO LO CONOZCO PERO ESO ES LO Q REFLEJA DIOS LO SIGA BENDICIENDO GRANDEMENTE Q AMOR TIENE POR LO Q HACE EXCLENTE

[@felehandymancook3994]

Muy bueno su video Julio!.. Here is my TIP for the Yucca Dough: I buy frozen grated yucca, but I add aprox 1.5 cup of hot salty water to a 3lb bag of the grated yucca and stir it, then pour two or three full large cooking spoons of the grated yucca in a cheese cloth, fold it and squeeze it to drip out the liquid and by doing so that way, I remove a "White milky Liquid" (or starch). Then unfold the cheese cloth and drop the dry yucca in a bowl and continue until depleted. At the end of the process, I end up removing more that 2.5 cups of the "White Liquid", meaning the grated yucca came with 1+ cup or more of water added. Thus, to make it malleable again, I replace the excess water removed with the same amount of "Seasoned Chicken Stock" where you boiled your chicken for taste and add annatto oil for coloring and thereafter ,continue the rest of your video recipe process. Thank you for sharing it.

[@Carmen-11211]

Love a man than can cook !!

[@nanroses2137]

Chef you are a master chef.

I Just have to say thank you Chef!!!! I made it!!!! Perfection!!! My whole family and friends enjoyed every bit of it. Your recipe with a bit pice! 😁 God bless u! I look forward to more delicious recipes.

[@jacquelinedavila-alicea7545]

The best detailed video . This recipe is as delicious as it looks. I did it last year for the Christmas holiday and ran out immediately. My mom used to make them with just green bananas, potatoes and maybe plantain. They were delicious, but these are even better, "Sorry Mom." Adding all the extra vegetables really pumped up the taste of the masa and the milk help keep the soft. The only thing I did different was preparing and cooking the meat, but I'm almost sure he's way is also tasty. So for you first timers or those who want to try a different way of making them (like myself) go for it. You won't be disappointed. Thanks, Chef, for sharing this wonderful and informative video.

[@JulioRodriguezcaribbeanchefnyc]

+Jacqueline Davila-Alicea Thanks Jackie/

[@patcanario4778]

Your presentation is absolutely awesome...thank you

[@cfig5017]

Chef julio you are so smooth jajaaa...loved watching your video..aprendi unas cositas...gracias...thumbs up !

[@socuegon4355]

In our home we chop the sofrito ingredients in the blender or the the pilon like mom used to do 'cause we don't like finding chunks of sofrito ingredients in the pasteles. We also never added chick peas. We also made alcapurrias, enpanadas, and yucca pasteles, some of pork, some chicken, some vegetarian. Mom was a wonderful cook (I could almost day she was a chef) there was nothing she didn't know how to make. Always delicious. Miss her a lot.

[@milliemontan5475]

This is by far the best video I've seen in making pasteles. I have seen over a dozen video's on how to make pasteles and yours is the best. I have to say you are the only one of all the videos I have seen that go step by step on how to make them. My youngest daughter is going to be very happy this year because she is a vegetarian. This year she will be able to eat pasteles. I finally learned how to make pasteles. Thank you Chef Julio.

It was a delight watching this video. brought sooo many memories. i bet they are delicious since its just like my family used to make them. I'm making pateles for the first time all by myself to keep alive the tradition and that's is going to be my Christmas present for my friends. Also they will be the star of the "Dia de los Reyes Magos" dinner. this video is a "joya"! thank you, Chef Julio

[@Sierva653]

Mil gracias....el mejor y mas completo video que he visto :-)

[@margariteolmos3457]

I used a food processor to grate the root vegetables. Perfect.

[@Tamaramartinezsantiago]

+Margarite Olmos easiest way, I do that too!

[@margariteolmos3457]

+Tamara Nair exactly, and no cut knuckles on our fingers!

[@jearodz]

It's not the same, rallado, w/ the grater (the way Chef Julio did ) is more chunky, has more texture, I find.

[@darleneruano3947]

Margarite Olmos r créalo

[@ihndz9824]

Yes, rallado is BEST. However some people like to use blender or food processor for convenience and that's ok for them or selling in bulk but is 100% better when is grated by hand. I could be blind folded and still be able to tell which method was used for grating the masa, lol They also sell special machines created just for grating vegs in bulk with perfect result but they are very pricey.

[@LS-ho9mj]

This is the closets recipe I've been able to find that's like what my granny made. Her family orgininated in Lajas PR. I've watched so many videos and have unsuccessful in finding something like what she made. Thank you.

i dont know why but i found this so entertaining

[@minnieher5266]

Hola saludos desde NY. Me encanto este video con la paciencia que el hizo esos pasteles...

[@minnietorres8570]

Perfectly demonstrated thank you ! U really made easy! Boriqua!!!!

[@BoricuaMomLife]

Your so right! I only cook the pork for 40 to 45 mins. Also depending on the size of the pernil. ❤️

[@soniaguzman7327]

My mother used to do that with the peppers and I used to love the smell!

[@freedomfourfamily7198]

Thank you for sharing a beautiful tradition. It's time for me to learn from my grandmother, but it will be nice to try your version. It looks great!

[@KiraCaras1]

Just like my Mom and Dad used to make them omitting the raisins. They even tied it the same way.

[@BoricuaMomLife]

Kira Caraballo , I’ve never had it with the raisins.
