Originally from Lorain, Ohio. We call them pastelillos. The recipe was perfect. Thank you.

[@malialucas4366]

Ayeeee from Lorain Ohio too

[@ginah6561]

I work in lorain and had to learn how to make my own. So here I am. So many people I’ve worked with over the years have shared these with me. I had some this morning that forced my hand at learning.😅

[@adamwolak7992]

Mari !!! This looks delicious and will be trying them out. This is Jacelyn btw 😊

[@mariscookingpr]

Jaci!! I hope all is well with you and your fam! 🥹🫶🏼

[@khfgt616]

Looks amazing! Any suggestions for making this with saltfish/ bacalao?

[@mariscookingpr]

@@khfgt616 Oh, that sounds soooo good! I think I would use a stewed bacalao recipe so that it’s a nice and juicy filling!

[@khfgt616]

@mariscookingpr Thanks!

[@WhoIsRevolution]

Finally, a recipe where it all comes together on stove top, not a slow cooker! Can you give me an idea where to purchase an olla like yours online and the technical name for them, if possible?

[@mariscookingpr]

Amazon!

[@Walkere2h]

I love your pot, our flag on it

[@vibinwiththeguzmans5828]

I just bought some tenderloins too🤔might do this over the weekend

[@mariscookingpr]

Thank you for the recipe Mari! I am a new sub in Germany. If you also have an Empanada disc recipe? and beautiful verse.. Blessings - My mind holds only what I think with God. - A Course in Miracles 🥰🙏

Awe, welcome!! 🫶🏼 I do not yet, but thanks for reminding me! I will add it to me videos-to-make list! Blessings!

[@Akasha0777]

@@mariscookingpr Great. I'll be on the look out for it. Have a lovely weekend. 😊

[@heatherfreeman1416]

I love every recipe you post! This looks delicious. Thank you, for your content 🌞

[@josea0121]

Mari, did you stretch out the discs to thin them out a bit? I had used the Goya brand a few years back and thought the dough was to thick. They weren't coning out flaky like our normal empanadillas. I got discouraged and didn't do them again. Those look delicious. Yummm.

[@mariscookingpr]

Yes! I should have showed that part. You know, I find that the extra large discs are flakier!

[@josea0121]

@mariscookingpr Ah ok. I will try them again and stretch them out. Thank you so much.

[@garylespron7-WS]

Oh pardon me Mari I thought these were Sealed taco shells 😉👌 j.k They look delicious You're a great cook 😎👍

[@mariscookingpr]

Lol! Thanks Gary!! 🫶🏼

[@TheAggroArcher]

Ive been wanting to make these, my grandparents make them for me while I am at their house and I always end up eating them all.

[@marioneaddie5590]

How about making Lechon Asado??

[@mariscookingpr]

Hi! I have a pernil recipe a few videos back 😊

[@bwanahaguziki307]

Why not use egg wash as a binder?

[@mariscookingpr]

I want it to be nice and saucy!

[@JannatMiranda]

Because Puerto Rican Pastelillos (empanadas) original method does not call for eggs or egg wash - a bit of tomato paste can be used if the person making empanadas wants a bit more consistency vs runny. Is a matter of preference.

[@ADoll-hl8gb]

What is the tortilla called

[@mariscookingpr]

They go by: empanada/empanadilla/pastelillo - discs/dough!

[@theeanthonystewart7797]

What is this pot called lol

[@mariscookingpr]

@@theeanthonystewart7797 it’s called a “caldero!”

[@Gdji5fv]

*Mari, I love that scenic picture in the end.* 😘❤

[@Gdji5fv]

A cauldron or caldron is caldero in Spanish. I love my set. Easy to cook in and easy to clean. Last longer than most cookware. I have one from my grandmother's kitchen.

[@mariscookingpr]

@@Gdji5fv Thank you! My husband took that drone shot on our 22’ trip to Puerto Rico!
