I love all of them! Anything meat-filled lol. I actually make your picadillo recipe about once a week to eat as empanadas or with your Dominican beans recipe and white rice. Girl, since you came into my life, I have your recipes on repeat in this house. My neighbors must think I hired a Dominican chef or something 'cause they ain't never smelled the aromas that be comin' out this apartment before 😂. I send my italian husband to Olive Garden if he wants meatballs. That ground beef in the fridge is for picadillo lol.

I'm dominican too but we call empanada the ones that are made of yuca dough and pastelito are the ones that are made out flour dough. to me I love them equally because I'm a foodie so there are very few food that I don't love. Thank you for sharing our traditional dishes.

My goal this year is learning how to make all the traditional Dominican recipes but having my parents rush to explain over the phone never came out right. Besides mangu, I started thinking I'll only be able to eat Dominican food at restaurants or family parties. I've been watching your videos for hours today! Thank you thank you thank you!

I grew up calling both Patelitos, I thought it was because of the type of dough. Where as the Colombian/south American ones I call empanadas 🤷♀️ you learn something new everyday lol
@Chefzeecooks4 жыл бұрын
There are also other reasons why the two are different. I didn't want to go into too much detail because the video could have easily been an hour long and confusing lol. There are some regions that make the distinctions based on shape, size, dough, cooking method, filling, and more. The reasons are endless lol. In the end, I decided to differentiate them as I grew up-- round vs. half moon. For me growing up, empanadas were also made of an entirely different dough but that was also a regional thing based on where my family is from.

If I am going to shred the chicken after cooking it in the sauce, why can't I cook the chicken uncut after marinating it? The reason you gave for the size of your chicken cuts not being too large was because it would run the risk of not fitting into the empanada. The chicken will fit after shredding it.
@Chefzeecooks4 жыл бұрын
Cutting the chicken first, marinating it, cooking it, shredding, and then adding it back in the sauce allows for maximum flavor and the chicken also cooks faster. You run the risk of having chicken that is bland and dry when you cook the chicken uncut. The best way to cook a whole chicken breast uncut is to boil it as you would in a soup-- but that's an entirely different flavor profile and different what I've shown in this video. Cooking the chicken that way also doesn't allow for maximum flavor unless you're making the chicken sous vide style, which isn't my preferred way of using a sous vide or making chicken. Lastly, you want to be mindful of the size chunks that you cut the chicken because the chicken will shred in the size that you cut. So cutting it too big will give you shredded pieces that are big as well, which may cause issues when filling your empanadas and pastelitos later on-- especially if you're making mini ones as I have shown in this video. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
