Strangely enough, as a child, I didn't really like pastelles. However living in the US, I regained a love for all things Trini that I took for granted. There is nothing better than a Trini Christmas!

[@trinisal1]

Thank you Foodie Nation and Natasha. I have always used corn meal and wondered why my pastels fall apart. Now I know to use flour.

[@UltraAdventures]

All yuh…. Yuh de best. Best Trini recipes out there without question. Every time I watch yuh, I feel closer to TnT. Can’t wait to get back, but till then… pastilles and parang for Christmas!!!

[@chriswi8069]

It's that time of the year again. I make pastelles every year and I still need a refresher. This is one of the better recipe and technique that I have seen.

[@thelegendarylou6856]

Yes Sir, that it is. The Lamb idea is dope man. Can't wait to try it.

[@eshaberment6765]

I have never made pastelle because I taught is was slaving hard work to make but it was so easy to make so i'm surly going to try this. My 9 year old son is all excited to help make also because he loves loves pastelle .

[@nazariaalexander-williams1779]

I tried this recipe today. Of course, I compared with the one on "Trini Cooking with Natasha" and they're the same. It came out PERFECT!

[@louannv8608]

I love the two youtube channels Foodie Nation and Trini cooking with Natasha keep up the good work guys 👍❤

[@iriemania]

I am so happy and grateful for your recipes. I love ya'll. Fellow Trini 😊

[@josor9902]

excellent. simply done no big fuss and mess. back in the day, it was ah big pot and wood fire in the back yard to boil the pastelles or ham lol for Christmas -

[@horlicks3920]

So true

[@netsanetamare9725]

I made a vegan lentil and bodi filling (adapting Natasha's lentil and mushroom recipe). However, we used this video to make the dough and assemble the pastelles, which were delicious. Thank you so much for these clear instructions.

[@dleetrini]

This is one of many Trini foods I miss, as I now live in Canada. Yum...

[@chefsabbaa7896]

I do fish, chicken, turkey, beef, shrimp, soya, it is limitless with you just have to stuff something. Nice!

[@mrscashmorrisey1702]

This looks way easier to make than I had imagined pastelles to be. I'll have to try it.

[@deaconblues3964]

Nice to see the corporation between all the Trini KZbinrs helping each other out...The whole country should take a page from this!

[@angellohector]

What! You two make a great combination...its like The Avengers for Trini food!

[@ninamckenzie72]

I enjoyed looking at this video… great tips Natasha …. You gave me inspiration to prepare and cook my own pastelles this Christmas… Thank you very much 😊

[@I.Am.Liselle]

I was smiling as if I was right there making it with you guys!! I’ll give it a try as I always thought I needed a press to make it. It ain’t Christmas without pastelles!! I can make dozens now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳

[@l.thernandez6748]

Me too. These girls are a hit together. Good job guys. I'm gonna try pastels for sure.

[@kmurray9760]

I just love the way the two are communicating on the show😊😊

[@heathergittens3223]

I love Trini beef pastelles. It's our holiday staple.

[@jaredrios9575]

In Puerto Rico ower dough is complete different but filling is almost the same. We use roasted chopped pork shoulder then we mix it in stewed pork broth, ham, rasians, hot pepper, chickpeas, olives, tomato sauce (not paste), capers, sofríto (similar to green seasoning), annatto, thyme, and paprika. Some people add chopped potato but I like my potato grated in my dough.

[@MrHorses1959]

I enjoyed this video. Trini Pastelles brings back Happy Christmas memories in Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@sheriswan2208]

Natasha is an excellent teacher. Now I know about the corn flour I will use that. Good demonstration.

[@trinimassive33]

Nice, I also use a flat bottom pot to press down, easier than pressing out by hand.

[@patsybynoe3832]

I enjoyed making my pastels , thanks guys

[@shelleysingh5860]

Man she made that look so easy. What can you use if you can't get fig leaf? I want to try and make some this year instead of spending mo ey to order. Thank you for the info

Use wax paper!

[@waheedaalli4661]

I did the same,i use corn meal. Natasha girl you give me extra work for xmas now but i love it. Thanks

[@cyruscyrus9029]

I used corn meal and it came out just great

[@62halee]

Don't take her on. Cornflour will not work. She's just confusing you all. Cornmeal is used. Just make sure it's a refined cornmeal like Promasa.

[@nickielasampson4858]

So what do u think promasa is??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 cornmeal alone 🤣 dont take u on because promasa is cornflour 🤨

I put coconut milk powder in my cornflour for flavour.

[@rachelmchin]

hi. If we dont have any fig or banana leaves, can we use foil?? What else can we use?

[@sirenphoenixrising]

Hi. If you don't have the fig leaves you can use parchment paper or foil but the parchment is better. The fig leaves is what adds that beautiful flavour we love.

[@rachelmchin]

@@sirenphoenixrising thank you. I will try parchment

[@susangarraway6385]

Promasa cornflour is what we use in Trini, looks like cornmeal bt finer. Nt white corn flour that looks like corn starch.

[@Blondie62]

Yes I have basically all. But still think Pork and Lamb are the best

[@melissa200620]

I love your cook Natasha

[@roselezama3898]

I'm so happy I looked at this,I can now make passtell

I did not know they folded them like that! nice!

[@sideuniverse3203]

Is there a substitute for fig leaf??? Live in us, can't find leaves.

[@lejalamorena]

You can use wax paper the same way or Just do it directly the foil

[@cynthiaedwards954]

Most of the supermarket in the Spanish food section sells the banana leaves frozen.

Well done im thinking of doing mines for christmas👍

Caribbean pot lives in Canada and Taste of Trini is in Texas now. Maybe one day🙏🏽

[@kelly.trinidad]

completely agree!

[@like.seriouslyppl2296]

crissy sweet that would be nice to but some Trini ppl like having snakes in dey backyard.. plus y showcase Taste of Trini and Caribbean Pot, cause they low key copying them. And there were several times Taste of Trini and Caribbean Pot was in Trinidad, but like Foodie Nation only contacts is this 🐍.

[@airamilona1555]

You can use promasa corn flour and the press can be found in most groceries, and the leaves can be found in Massy stores, just helped y'all there or just wait to raid some family own either way compliments of the season!!!!!

Can black olives can be use instead of green olives ?

[@chrissyhart4850]

Promosa yellow corn flour is a double cooked corn flour and it's similar to cornmeal it's not really the texture of flour There is also real corn flour that's milled like with the real texture of flour so this can get confusing say you used promosa and or Pan because It will just make it easier to find in the grocery store Say that you're looking for promosa or Pan because corn flowers are a really different texture Great vid ladies 👍🏼

Well done ladies! 🥰😁😂😂😂😂
