How To Make Trini Chicken Pastelles | Foodie Nation x Trini Food Designer - Arlene

[@saryarohit2925]

I like Arlene. Such a cool, quiet, gentle vibe from her. She's not here for any "song and dance entertainment"; she's here to show everyone how to cook. I like her as a co-host as Kezzianne doesn't have to drink a pot of coffee to try to keep up with her counterpart.

[@tonisingh5488]

Wow, I always thought this was something I couldn't make but Arlene simplified the recipe and the process.. thank you!!!now I can try this recipe...

[@deopersadchandarjeet9081]

[@Talia123ize]

Am here first, loving Arlene cool chilled vibes ❤️

[@MrAidans10]

Best pastelle recipe to date, my chicken pastelles are new and improved.

[@lylinbest948]

Great job on chicken pasteles some cranberries would jazz it up. Was wondering does anyone make paime, thanks for sharing.

[@OAS225]

I always have extra leaf and cornmeal after pastelle making so paime is the next obvious thing to do but I don't have a recipe. 😭

[@lincolnwilson8504]

I really enjoy your simplicity and your joyous expression when you are making your points.

[@juliemahabir7514]

Arlene i made my dough for pastelle exactly as recipe and wow it came out superb. Ithanks for helping me solve my cornmeal problem.

[@sonjaquin]

If you cook all and freeze you can steam it to hot up and it will be fresh

[@asenettflemming1988]

Very nice 👍🏾

[@annedwards6593]

I saw a lentil pastelle yesterday

[@Concerned97]

Excellent

[@judyblackmancallender3663]

Hi hi Foodies folk. Kindly tell me how many pounds of minced meat, and corn meal should I use to produce 5oo plus pastelles? Thank you.

[@junecox8274]

Looks good thanks for sharing

[@deboraalexis4016]

Love you girls ! ❤❤ And pastels are delicious.. I see you use corn meal? And not corn flour? So is it one or the other..help..

[@ruthsolomon-thompson293]

Was wondering the same thing.

[@ornela1825]

I found this confusing as well. But I realised that the Promasa "cornmeal" that us Trinis normally use (the one in the orange-ish bag) is actually a corn flour. I think we mistakingly call corn flours, corn meal and I think thats what happened here. So yes, make sure on the bag it says corn flour.

[@sweetiepienads985]

I like to put a bit of oregano and paprika in the dough

[@chriswi8069]

Good recipe.

[@judeworrell5065]

I am now a pastel maker. Now on to sponge cake.

[@candicekerr9612]

Listen i am so here for Arlene's recipe.

[@cliffpoy1909]

So I can cut my fig leaves to appropriate size, freeze and when ready to use, just thaw and they'll be pliable enough to use ?

[@AstralPrincess]

Same thing I'm wondering.

[@darrylgranger388]

Looking forward to fish Pastelles

[@jackielowe1463]

❤❤❤

[@nphipps9406]

delicious but soo much work. I would like to see how to make a xmas rum log, can you make it, please and thank you .

[@dl733]

Is cooking ... boiling .... food wrapped in tin foil recommended in as far as having health concerns?

[@rosemundyee6863]

Arlene is so gentle. Great recipe. Look easy, but pastelles a lot of work.

[@tarakangal6550]

Can you use olive 🫒 oil instead of butter thank you foodie nation

[@saryarohit2925]

You may but butter/margarine adds a richness that cannot be found in olive oil. Makes the cornmeal dough smooth and silky.

[@shermahector4081]

Is there a reason why you didn't put salt in the cornmeal?

[@saryarohit2925]

I like to season my cornmeal, too. A little salt, a little sweet, some parsley for garnish...my own flair.

[@b.g.5129]

It's a Tortilla Press made from cast iron; press the lever with so me strength woman. It's not that fragile!

[@saryarohit2925]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@b.g.5129]

Why didn't you add Worcestershire sauce instead of bitters to the filling.

[@saryarohit2925]

Nice tip!

[@TryfifiiKalii]

❤️

[@cliffpoy1909]

I don't need to heat the leaves?

[@Xbot4Life]

this is like bluedraws with chicken?

[@OAS225]

Kind of. We Trinis 🇹🇹 make the blue draws too but we call it paime. The cornmeal for patelles isn't meant to be sweet, though, most meat filling will have some raisins which creates a sweet and savoury effect.

[@Xbot4Life]

@@OAS225 Thanks

[@josannebaker1499]

I feel like a suitable amount is like 40 per person.

[@lindaharding5802]

How can you get the leaf up north

[@jamiladesouza2730]

Bbq sauce in pastelles😮😮, that's a first for me 😢😢😢

[@kennedymiller5120]

When she said " Going good so far" , i was like, " Ummm i don't think so but I'm honestly trying to trust the process"🤡

[@peterrawlins6753]

You're supposed to heat up the banana leaf first,just sayin.

[@sonjaquin]

And wipe the leaf lol

[@saryarohit2925]

She said she washed them before and freezed them. She also said you can "singe" the leaves to make them soft and supple.

[@lerandagarib378]

Well yes. Thank you because I does really be over cooking my pastels...

[@natalielooknathsingh9986]

Can Arlene show us how to make a Chicken ham from scratch instead of having to buy those birds the companies selling
