How to make yuca pasteles

[@RealizeReaLies100]

I have followed your cooking for a few months and I just want to tell you, my Puerto Rican husband loves me more because I've followed your cooking recipes! The accupulia was like heaven! The sofrito was on point and now a staple in our home and I'm going to cook these pasteles tomorrow. Truly appreciative of your videos and recipes and breaking it down. My husband's belly really does love me more because of these videos. Thank you!

[@mibelloaleman]

My God, you have such amazing patience! That is so labor intensive and you did it all with a smile.! Looks delicious! I love your calm and relaxing way of teaching. You're amazing!

[@michirodz6945]

Omg this brought memories of when I was little and used to make these with my grandmom, good old times

[@hildazorrilla9064]

Just wanted to share that you can now buy grated frozen yuca. I found it at my local supermarket. Also, I use cheesecloth (I bought mine at Walmart in the sewing section) to wring out the water from the yuca. Just place the cheesecloth inside a colander and let the water drain out of the yuca. This is just a suggestion - it works for me. Thanks!

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

+Hilda Zorrilla How are you Hilda . Thank you for the suggestions. I really appreciate it. I enjoy doing it old school though. I love you for following!

[@hildazorrilla9064]

I am well, Thank You! Happy Thanksgiving! After the post I ended up making pasteles myself the old fashion way! LOL - my right arm is still a little sore from all the grading. Take care...

[@carmendeliagonzalez7496]

[@1bongocero]

+The Freakin Rican Restaurant There is a cheaper alternative to the Grandma Ann's grater which would run @ $280 with additional grating and french fry discs at QVC made by the Kitchen Aid company 13 cup Food Processor. Savings $90. Isn"t the Yucca core fiberous Derrek? I didn't notice if you had removed the cores in the presentation. I like your Sofrito and Meat for pasteles recipes and will give them a shot this weekend but not as much in quantity. Perhaps half the amounts you suggest. Question for you what was your yield total for your Pasteles de Guineo Video? Maybe 100..more, less?

[@jdthknowles4]

The Freakin Rican Restaurant I really enjoy your videos, very informative and easy to follow if you're new to PR cooking. Thanks for the hookup on this machine.. I have had my eye on it for a cpl of years but thought it too pricey for me. Wth your promotional codes and 6 months to pay with PayPal credit I was able to get one-my Christmas gift to myself 👍😂. Thanks again . I'll be making pasteles for no he Buena!

[@parmodsharma4576]

This is a great grater although expensive but I think worth it. I wish it was around when I was younger and healthier. I had a stroke and don't make Pastelles anymore and have no room for it in my home. But for those that need a great grater this is great.

[@annettetalbert9956]

Just made this tonight. I made mine with Steak chunks and pimento stuffed olives. So delish.

[@dannygonzalez3886]

Great presentation! Thanks

Hi what kind of milk, whole milk or carnation 😊

[@clarity023]

Can I use a procesador to do the yuca?

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

+clarity023 How are you? Perhaps you can. Ive never done it. Perhaps if you cut the yuca up in small pieces you probably could. Let me know.

[@madelinegonzalez4919]

Yeah

[@mickeyblue2647]

I use my food processor every time I make pasteles I have a machine but I like using my processor and they come out perfect.

[@ziomaravelazquez5306]

Hello! I love your videos! I was wondering how many Yuca you used or how many pounds of Yuca you bought?

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

it's 3 pounds of yautía. thank you and enjoy

[@mimabranco7771]

Hello enjoying your video.I am having a hard time finding Green green bananas.I live in San Diego Calif.

[@foodieharris239]

I didn't realize that you had two videos on pastels.. why did you soak the pork in vinegar in one video and not in the other?

[@Lucywoozie]

Hola!!! everything looks SUPER YUMMYLICIOUS!!!! but, can I use coconut milk instead off reg milk? Thanks in advance :)

[@tonigirl4u1]

oh how long do I boil them for? I know about regular Pasteles with the green banana masa not yucca??

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

+tonigirl4u1 Honestly I boil them for at least 30 minutes on medium high. Thanks for watching

[@mickeyblue2647]

I like to keep cheese clothes in my cabinet for this purpose and I get them from the dollar tree store, aside from that you know I’m making this recipe I love all your recipes .👨🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳🇵🇷🪘✌️🤛🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰

[@beatrizhernandez5202]

[@janesita1]

Hola, cual es el propósito de pasar la hoja de platano por el fuego? Las hojas q se compran hay q pasarlas por fuego?

[@fransheska884]

Por que se exprime la yuca?

[@Artari]

I just love all your videos, wish i could eat your food. I have never eaten Yuca before as I am from Hawaii. I was reading about it and noticed you tasted the Yuca. It says it is very dangerous to eat the Yuca raw . Not sure if there are different varieties, just wanted you to know . Aloha

[@Artari]

looks so good...pasteles are very popular to make in Hawaii, but we use cooking banana and taro :)

[@ivettecotto4330]

Yum 😋

[@mickeyblue2647]

This was a funny yet delicious recipe video, but I kind of felt like I was listening to a Japanese movie you know like when the voice comes in after they stop speaking how funny,anyway I'm a fan for life just keep on keeping on ,peace my little Puerto Rican brother .😘😗😙😚☺🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏. Oh another thing you forgot to let us know how long to boil the pasteles.

Hola un saludo que clase de leche

[@marielaortiz4852]

Yo uso leche de coco

[@frankdelgado6799]

Hey, how are you doing? Just subscribed to your video. I want to make this for my wife on her birthday and I do have a couple of Q's. one, how long do you boil the pasteles for? Sorry, couldn't hear how long. And two, what's a good substitute for achieve oil because where I live, can't find the achiote seeds. i was thinking sazon with achiote.

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

How are you . I usually boil them for 20 - 30 minutes once water has boiled.. And yes you can use sazon.. Thank you for watching.

[@mickeyblue2647]

I love the yucca pasteles, I'll eat the regular ones too but yucca pasteles are the bomb, another thing is I don't squeeze all the milk out of the yucca I've seen videos where they remove the milk out of the yucca just to add a can of carnation milk hum I think that defeats the purpose anyway to each there own,be blessed everyone and enjoy your pasteles. Oh one more thing don't just make them for the holidays .

[@irisfiguereo1624]

The starch in the yucca milk will make the pastele gummy and hard after boiling.

[@lydiatellez2895]

hola,cocinas riquicimo , pero yo hago pasteles de yuca diferente , no me gusta hecharle leche a los pasteles no creo que sea necesario , con el jugo de la carne para mi es mas que suficiente,pero para el gusto los colores.

[@marielaortiz4852]

Yo le echo leche de coco

[@wayway5111]

Could you use chicken

[@Ashes2ashes808]

Why do you add milk?

[@marielaortiz4852]

I use coconut milk

[@judycuca7356]

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

+Carmen Nieves I love Yuca pasteles. They are so good.

[@lindad2241]

Make it easy thx🤘🏾

[@michellegenao1240]

please redo this video. The voice dont matches what you doing sorry

[@venuswarrior8456]

Did you know that sofrito should be frozen every time u use it because it loses it flavor and potency. At the same time after a few days it becomes fermented.

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

+Carmen Nieves How are you , actually the oil preserves it. I usually keep one jar in the fridge and one in the freezer. Thank you for following us. Wow my moms name is Carmen Nieves..lol

LA YUCA NO SE ESPRIME, LA MASA DESPUES QUEDA SECA Y EL PASTEL DURO!

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

No not at all. You add some milk.. But you dont squeeze it completely dry. Thank you Follow us on our social media platforms. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant or instagram.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant and of Course visit our Website www.thefreakinricanrestaurant.com

[@marielaortiz4852]

Es cierto esa masa se veia demasiado dura sin consistencia bueno n me gusto mucho la receta mas todos tienen su forma de hacer las cosas

[@Liz0657]

La abuela mía los hacía así y nunca le quedaban duros ella le hechaba el caldo de la carne. Y nunca le hechaba leche y le quedaban riquísimos.

[@wkdmorgan6152]

Not everyone uses milk in their masa. What's the purpose for the milk? I don't get it. Also, the flavor comes from the meat filling as opposed to the masa.

[@lightspeedhorse8964]

makes it soft, you want to use 1 can. i havent watched the whole thing but i think he uses 2, that may be too much

[@madelinegonzalez4919]

Chico said in Spanish y English. You r bilingual n my husband always mira tu recete el un fan tuyo . pero el sabe mas español. Te lo agradesco

I cook my meat the same way I don’t put water, just cover it and let it cook in it’s own juice.

[@madelinegonzalez4919]

Remember we r boricua .

[@karenvargas6576]
