Review By: Mara first off you need to know how to make the oil and Puerto Ricans NEVER use Black olives in their cuisine. This recipe is also missing a KEY ingredients...CAPERS!
WE never used chili powder to make our pasteles, we used hot sauce on the side.
I will have to look at my Tropical recipes and post my families Pastel Recipe.
Oh and we added chick peas/garbanzos to the meat, which was cooked the day before so that the flavors would bloom and blend. |
