Puerto rican Pasteles Recipe

(`*•.¸(`*•.¸ (`*•.¸*☆.OPEN TO READ MORE☆. *¸.•*´) ¸.•*´).•*´)
If you know what pasteles are you are dancing in your seat. Every Puerto Rican table has a spread of pasteles on the table at Christmas time .I cannot tell a lie, pasteles are a project so a lot of times people will buy them by the dozen from someone who makes them. I used a pastele machine but you can also use a box grater
Using the food processors grater is the preferable method.
ACHIOTE:
Achiote oil This gives the pastele a great color and flavor.
I also found these annato seeds in the Fruit market,
be sure that you get seed and not powder.
Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil, add 1 cup of annatto seeds to the oil.
Allow the seeds to simmer until the oil reaches a bright red color.
Strain the seeds from the oil and discard the seeds.
Allow the oil to cool and store in a sealed container until ready to use.
MEAT FILLING:
Now for the filling. Yummy, yummy filling.
You could use any protein that you like as a filling
but the most traditional is pork.
Break pork down into 1/2 inch cubes.
Season with Sazon, Adobo, Black Pepper, Sofrito
Add pork and water to the pot.
Add garbanzo beans and olives to the pot
Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cover.
The meat should finish tender but not falling apart and with a saucy gravy.
If the sauce is too watery uncover and bring to a boil to reduce.
Set aside and try your best not to eat it all.
MASA:
Cut Everything into 3-4 pieces place in cold water
to keep everything from turning black.
Using the shredder blade on your food processor grate the masa.
Place the masa into the food processor using the blade,
run the food processor until the masa is fine and pasty.
Ok now time to season the grated masa.
Add adobo, Sazon, Achiote oil, Carnation milk and Juice from the meat.
Add all the seasoning to the grated masa
Mix together until well combined and the masa has an orange color,
set aside until ready to use.
are you tired yet?
3 ibs, Wax paper and thread
Now it's finally time for assembly. Get everything together,
you'll need the masa mixture, meat filling, achiote oil,
wax paper squares and thread.
Lay out a square of wax paper and spread achiote oil on the wax paper.
Add 1 Spoon of masa mixture on to the wax paper and spread out.
Place meat filling down the center.
Using the wax paper fold the masa over the filling.
Bring the paper ends together.
Fold over twice to create a tight seal Tuck the ends under
Tie pasteles with butchers twine like a present.
At this point you can get ready to boil them right away or
you can freeze them until ready to use.
They hold well after the Christmas season and make a easy dinner option.
When ready to cook bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt and
drop in pasteles, boil for 45 minutes for fresh and 1 hour for frozen.
Using a pair of tongs pick the pastele out of the water
by the string and place on a paper towel.
Cut the string and gently unwrap to reveal a delicious Christmas treat.
For me pasteles are a big part of Christmas, taking me back
to my warm little island with family, friends and
a spread of pernil and arroz con gandules.
Feliz Navidad everyone!

[@sparkle11231]

Hi Again! After re-reading my comments, I apologize if I sounded critical. I just meant to say how we made them and what we used. Yes, I agree. Everyone DOES seem to have their way of making pasteles. You don't like using a little ham, and that's fine. Many people use raisins in theirs and we don't. Some people use pumpkin in the masa, mami didn't. To each his own. I'm sure yours are DELISH!!

[@JOVACHELLE]

Yummy haven't had pasteles in like forever. Welp now I got the recipe. Thanks so much.

[@CleosCooking]

Pasteles (aka Pastelles) in Trinidad and Tobago are very popular at Christmas time. I am now finding out that it is also a favourite in Latin America and other places.

[@cbnboy34]

Que ricos!!

[@Poolpile]

[@rubenfigueroa3699]

Interesting...

[@10perfectnails]

Holy cow! I need a machine to make these? How about you just mail me a few? LOL They look delicious! :D

[@kibasmommy8310]

Sweet Jesus! OMG! Pasteles for an army! OMG I've died and gone to heaven! OMG a pastele machine! Never knew they made them! I so want one! And Oh!Oh!Oh! you also put the recipe for alcapurrias on your channel - AND beans from scratch?!! OH WOW! You have every recipe for things I always dreamed of making! But damn it I moved to the south to a state that does not carry all these ingredients. I have hope in the future it will. After all I've only been here about 3 years and when I got here they didn't even have a spanish foods aisle - not even a single Goya product nor can of plain beans or anything! The last thing I did before I left NYC was go to a restaurant and load up on pasteles. Just a year ago to my great delight a Puerto Rican restaurant opened up in the city. It took then another year for them to grow but now they even deliver so I have to ask where they get their suppplies from - hopefully they tell me.

[@luzelenia]

Wow! They look amazing! BTW- Where did you get that machine?

[@chicadivaguadalupe4424]

Hi, what a yummy recipe! Reminds me of my mom and all of us making them for Christmas. What is and where does one buy a pasteles machine? I WANT ONE! :)

[@danielcastillo4010]

I would love to make this recipe, but would love it better finding a place i can order and buy. My Grandma (RIP) made them for us. I miss them and her!!!

[@sparkle11231]

watched your entire video - thank you for posting! BUT. This doesn't look like the traditional puertorican pasteles recipe. We don't use evaporated milk (2 cans!) we use just a little milk. The masa seems a bit oily too. We usually use 1 small head of garlic for the pork stew not only 2 cloves. We use a smaller stock pot (un caldera). And we take a fresh ham and cut the needed amount of meat for the stew into cubes,....

[@POPTARTPSYCHO18]

Thanx! I couldn't remember how they were folded since I was too young to participate when my Grandma used to make them so only my Mom and Aunts were doing it. I'm going to try and make them for the first time to take over from my Grandma. It's just me unfortunately and not the army of children she had to help, lol.

[@irenec.9167]

Love video can u a make pastels video not using milk soya , almond , for those who have allergies

[@TheOlavarria49]

Le pusistes achiote a la carne? Parece que no, y deberias para que la carne no te quede hincha o blancusca. By far the best video I've watch out here. By the way, la leche es optional. Se usaba antes para ablandar un poco la masa. Los garbanzos son opcionales, also. Le echastes sal a la masa?

[@rjravaz]

so good!!!

[@yamillahlovestony]

This is my monster mans favorite Puertorican fish.

[@xiomaraf.7770]

Omg they look yummy but thats a lot of work,🙏🌹

[@DownsAngel]

The fruit store on Grand close to where the brick yard use to be? ;) Love the recipe...I'm impressed with the way you blend the peppers oil and garlic to add it to the meat. I will most definitely try that this year. We love our pasteles really really spicy. Will this do the trick? #Boricua # Chicago #Pasteles

[@torosesm]

Wepa eso es!!!!!

[@ThePlur427]

LMAO omg so as a gay guy you know i had to point out her nails were on POINT! and then i saw the name of the youtube channel XD

[@samanthagallagher6055]

Thank you

[@heartbeatnailzRuthieSantana]

Girl, you just made me hungry! ;)

[@ruthrodriguez9800]

Great video, but you forgot the hoja de guineo. Anyway, it was very detailed. Thank you.

[@sunshiine4mee]

Girl where dd you get the machine? I Need one in my life 😊 Please my Love where do I purchase one at? Thank you for the Delicious recipes! Many Blessings to you Mama 😉

[@MegaMgdl]

Would you put this recipe in writing? I would

[@adaschneck8643]

can the masa be in the refrigerator for a couple of days till you are ready to use it?.

[@MsBlankie67]

Yo quiero wepaaaaa.

[@acollum8937]

would you happen to know the measurements for a smaller amount?

[@43CUKI]

Me gustaria saber cuantos guineos verdes se usaron?

[@TheSupermom219]

where do you get your pastelles machine? I have one too, mine looks different though

[@TheSupermom219]

Yeah I love my pastelles machine too, I made alcapurrias too

[@Rickman165]

no, east coast NY NJ.

[@TheOlivoFamily]

How much was it???? You made this video go TOO FAST, carajo! HAHAHHAHHAHA....I love it and Gracias, mijo!

[@MiMiOrt]

Where can I get that Pasteles Machine? This would be a life saver 4 me

[@sparkle11231]

(2nd part of comment)......ground pork isn't traditionally used. We also use "parchment" paper. (If you really want to be authentic, you use "banana leaves".) I would think that wax paper would wax up the boiling water? But, hey. People do things differently. .... :-)

[@kalinapekarski1150]

I apologize in advance if this was already answered but I searched and couldn’t find the answer to my question. How many pasteles does this recipe make?

[@wandanegron3976]

y la hoja de platano que le da el savor

[@TheLuigi888]

That's what I was thinking too (where's the hoja de plátano?). But maybe that's her style of making pasteles. God, I'm so hungry right now I definitely will eat a docena! lol

[@traceymartin35]

please tell me when I start grating the mass old school how do I keep the mass from going black while I grate 200 green bananas peel everything put it in water as I'm grating will it go black?

[@rapturefrd1]

+tracey martin ..sometimes I do them all by myself and I peel a few and grate some into the masa pot. Before I go back to grating, I add a little of the meat juice and a little oil and milk and season and stir. then I go back to the grating, maybe do six to ten pieces and add that masa to the pot and mix and so on. My masa stays nice and red! Besides it makes it easier then waiting all at once and trying to combine all with a large amount of masa. Obviously, I don't start the bananas until the meat is done so I can have the juice ready for the masa.

[@traceymartin35]

rapturefrd1 thank you?

[@ccreamerkiki37]

tracey martin when you peel the bananas put them in a large bowl filled with water

[@kibasmommy8310]

FINALLY we found them priced at the normal cheap price they are supposed to be. Do you know why my roomie only found it at crazy prices? You're going to laugh when you hear the reason...he didn't know until last week when he heard me call chick peas "garbanzo beans" that they were the same thing. He's not Hispanic nor had much exposure to Hispanic foods so he had no clue. He had gone into the supermarket searching for chick peas and only found a glass bottle of fresh organically grown chick peas and because of that the price was insane! This time he went in looking for garbanzo and found them. Bought a can for 99 cents and a huge bag of dried garbanzo beans. He laughed at himself when he turned over the bag and it said chick peas. Most likely a lot of people who aren't Hispanic wouldn't know any better and think as he did the bottle labeled chick peas was the only way to get them there to make hummus with. OMG he made the most delicious hummus from scratch the other night. The health benefits are incredible! The price can't be beat! I'm going to watch him next time he makes it so I can learn how.

[@kibasmommy8310]

Hehehe yep but it's just a shame they were here all along - he was just looking in the wrong place! XD

[@jennifertablada2087]

I need a recipe for 5 any help with that please?

[@capotillo2876]

that's toooooooooooooo much work....voy a Mayaguez y la compro de marisco y 6 medallas,y a singar se ha dicho...

[@samanthagallagher6055]

This will be my first time making them and I'm still a little confused about how to make the dough I do not have the machine in the video any tips.

[@carolynespada1091]

Can you tell me encase they don't have a box how many bunches of banana's were in the box?

[@mariangies]

hi. what kind of paper did you use?

[@ThePreciosa225]

I would like to try this recipe but do not wish to make 200 pasteles. Being that I do not know how many green bananas come in a box, I cannot scale down the recipe. Do you have a smaller version of this recipe? Say to make about 1-2 dozen? I just want to try them. Thank you so much!

[@maryann2876]

are green bananas that you used different from unripened yellow bananas?

[@sylviacrespo118]

I don't know how to say the right words to my friend via text about how to fold steps. Can you type here?

[@debrew310]

so funny- my son's in school in Baton Rouge and the stores have little or none of the ingredients. I send him Adobo, Sazon, etc. Getting ready to send him all the ingredients for Pasteles. Just hoping the guernitos verde and plantains do not ripen during shipping. His only concern is all the "GRATING". He was hoping I would say- 'use food processor'--NOT!. lol

[@ruthrodriguez9800]

Where can I buy a pasteles masa making machine?

[@EmilyAceTV]

what kind of pork? pork chops pork roll pork roast ?

[@migdaliamendez392]

[@libradakawaiaea9760]

[@kibasmommy8310]

But do you know why garbanzo beans got so expensive? I can't find any reasonibly priced. How much do you pay per can and what brand do you use if you don'tmind me asking? Incredible that prices went through the roof of something that used to be the cheapest thing.

[@kibasmommy8310]

Honey - the have been between 7 and 15 dollars a can here! I thought it was the end times with those prices! I don't think anyone would ship them to me either they are heavy and shipping would probably be expensive

[@kibasmommy8310]

That's what I said. I thought my roommate was making it up too until I got to the store and saw it

[@debrew310]

doesn't matter what brand- get the store brand- about .99 on sale in NY- Italien brands, spanish brands ----

[@kibasmommy8310]

Debbi Rodriguez no you are missing my point. No matter what brand it is where I live the price is through the roof between 7 and 15 dollars a can.

[@debrew310]

Rosie P I live in NY/USA- Where are you? Perhaps I could send a bag of dry garbanzos to you..... Have to soak and cook them, and unless you are on the moon- how expensive would it be to send ? Just trying to think of solution.

[@JACKLYN0416]

Just wondering. Do you sell pasteles. ? I could never make them.lol

[@nvwhatuc]

Way too fast....I have to watch it 12 times just to get all the ingredients from the store
