How To Make Puerto Rican Alcapurrias at Home | Dining Traveler Cooking Series

[@gcorc]

"I'm Puerto Rican, so I don't have exact measurments" - I've asked for recipes from so many friends and family and this has always been my experience. Shout out to Mami and Wela! Thanks for the video.

[@Diningtraveler]

Thank you! I had to make it several times and measure just to have the measurements for the video!

That’s not exclusive to Puerto Ricans. Most people who have cooked anything more than three times don’t have exact measurements.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Two weeks ago, my “Cooking Hotline” passed away and seeing you talk to your mom brought back so many wonderful memories of me calling my mom for cooking advice. I’m in tears but I feel so blessed to have had a mother like I did. Thank you again.

[@Diningtraveler]

I’m sorry about your loss and hope making these alcapurrias bring back happy memories ❤️

[@devbachu7072]

I know the feeling I lost my mom in February

[@theresamurphy4455]

Thank you for Sharing. Will try 1 day once I find All the ingredients. Looks! 😋😋🤗😊

[@Diningtraveler]

If there are no Latin restaurants in your area, look for Asian or African supermarkets for the green bananas and yautia. You can get the rest of the stuff (sazon, adobo) online. Even the sofrito-Loiza has a great shelf-stable sofrito you can order online. Happy cooking!

[@PatA-bs1eg]

Thank u . I love Spainish Food.

[@Diningtraveler]

Thanks! Enjoy your alcapurria ❤️

Hola gracias por la receta para hacer Alcapurias Boricuas. Hoy mi esposo nacido en Isabela Puerto Rico y criado en Brooklyn New York hiso Pasteles de Masa con mucha carne no siegos y yo le puse 4 aceitunas rellenas ya que me encantan. Nos comimos un Pastel para la Cena les quedan siempre ricos. Mañana va hacer de Yuca. El Viernes le vamos a llevar a nuestra amiga de ambas clases para ella y para que le lleve a su Papa que esta en un nursing home. Dice que mi esposo los hace como los del campo. Lo que yo se es que le quedan con sabor y ricos. 🥰

I use help my Mom make sofito. Then I would make it for us when she got older. My daughter makes her own too. If I finish my sofito and don't have any more I have never or ever will buy it made from the supermarket. Oh I been making alcapurrias for years.

[@veemontana718]

It kinda looks complicated to make but I must try cause ever since I moved outta the Bronx NY I can’t find those anywhere here in the south lol

[@Diningtraveler]

If you have a food processor, it makes t much easier. Get some friends to help you peel the guineos and yautia! Let me know how it goes

[@michellehernandez4941]

Hello! For about how many alcapurias is this recipe? Can't wait to try it!

[@Diningtraveler]

This recipe yields around 12 alcapurrias 😊 let me know how it goes

[@brooklyn11218]

What food processor do you use? I tried making alcapurrias once before by grating the yautia and it didn't come out well. I think for a second attempt I'll get a food processor to make sure the masa is the right consistency.

[@Diningtraveler]

I have a kitchen aid food processor, I had this one for over 10 years. amzn.to/45m0SUs If you’re going to use a box grater, use a box one in the smallest setting. Hope this helps! Éxito

[@Yvonne04051]

How long do you fry them for and what temperature??!

[@Diningtraveler]

around 375F and around 4-5 minute on each side, the key is that it's nice and crispy!

Maybe use enough of the oil to go over the top?

Dime esa es yautia o mapagana lo Creo es malagana

Es yautia ☺️

[@beatricek53]

I can’t find green bananas, can I use plaintains

[@Diningtraveler]

I've never tried them with plantains but I suspect it will probably not work. Try finding yuca instead. Do you have Asian supermarkets in your area? You can find them there. Éxito

[@catalinafaria8426]

With the plantains they would turn out hard!

[@mortiz2669]

Thanks for the recipe. Can one substitute the masa ingredients with green plantains and potatoes instead of the green bananas and yautia?

[@Diningtraveler]

I've never tried it this way but the consistency of the masa would probably be the same. It would taste different though. Let me know if you try it! Thanks for watching

[@chanceDdog2009]

I have used grated yucca. And they come out good.

[@preparados1917]

The ones made with yucca are alcapurrias de yuca. They also make those in Puerto Rico.

[@lenango2573]

Omg r u guys in philly?! I would love to order from u! Do u have instagram?

[@Diningtraveler]

No, we're in DC but we don't sell, sorry! We only did it for charity once. But once you get the hang of the recipe, it's really easy!

[@FraSol61]

You have to give measurement's.

[@Diningtraveler]

They’re in the description, I had to make it like 5 times to record the measurements

They never leave over any platanos, isn't that always a hurdle? they always cook mofongo and tostones in this house ... 😒
