How to make Puerto Rican Pastelon

[@mikemoran6937]

Hey bro you are now my Puerto Rican Culinary Pastor because you saved my cooking life! Made a few of your dishes for my family and they all came out perfect and to my Puerto Rican liking just like the old school cooking. Thank you so much for what you are doing for transplanted New Yoricans like me, keep up the good work.

[@MarilynMelendezG]

Mike Moran I couldn't agree more! I don't live by my mom anymore to teach me "again". I used to cook it a long time ago but lost my touch. Now I can learn all over again!!

[@nereidaacevedo4758]

Mike Moran 😊 I got to do my pastelon me quedo Rico ! Gracia amigo

[@elizabethdejesus-lewis1920]

I freaking love you too. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been in Georgia 30years. I miss my Puerto Rican family, food, life so much. Your videos bring my mind right back home. Thank you. Keep making videos.👍🇵🇷💪🤗❤️😷🙏

[@tpnysantiagojr2379]

Love this man...My family and I sent to his restaurant this past May, and he was kind enough to say hello to us. My family fell in love with Derek, such a sweet man. The food we ordered was amazing, absolutely delicious. I only wish he would happen a place here in South Florida.

[@barbrywilliams3135]

Just subbed to the channel. Today I tried this recipe, because I have high blood pressure, I baked the plantain instead of frying, brushed with the achiote oil for color. And I loved it. TY

Hi! love your cooking teaching videos...I've learned a lot from you, being Puerto Rican the best food ever that I've tasted it was from my Mama(R.I.P) and watching your videos is like seeing her cooking...the ingredients the way you cook...oh man God Bless you!! let see if I can cook like you and my mama...Blessings!

[@MariaB051]

[@janellegarzon6366]

They way I do it well the way my grandmother taught me. Add green beans between and sometimes she would use cheese... Maybe it's different for different parts of Puerto Rico or the way back in day lol

[@ivettegarcia574]

Thank you so much for sharing this video ,making a real food channel! Keep smiling and blessings to you and yours.

[@ihndz9824]

Looks very good! I prefer to cut mine a little bit thicker than yours but NOT too thick. To save calories and lower cholesterol for us seniors, nowadays I prefer to boil mine for a few minutes, u can add bit of salt. I mashed them with low fat milk and healthy vegan butter or butter if you prefer. It should look like thick mashed potatoes. Then i spray the pan, assemble my pastelon starting with the mashed platano, cooked ground meat, cheese, then top with more mashed platano and some cheese. You can make 1 layer or two. Bake it until bubbly, apprx 45 mins. For a chage sometimes I add 1 can of green beans as one of the layers. My guests love it this way, even those that never liked the fried version enjoyed it this way. There is a great recipe online for this version. I LOVE HIS TOO.....

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

Thank you so much for sharing your version - God bless!

[@debmorales4070]
