- While on vacation over the holidays, my mom showed me how to make Pasteles the Puerto Rican way. This is Authentic folks. These pasteles have a distinct Puerto Rican flavor. A flavor that any Puerto Rican can Identify. :-D
I have been watching different videos on making pasteles and see the various different way ! your mom really does puts a lot of extra effort I see people using different short cuts but she even boil water to wash her leaves tell her great job and I am going to try them her way also!! I just have to wait till I have a free weekend . Thanks for sharing
This way is the superior way and it's not just my mom's. This is the way all the women do it over here. They learned together making masses from the green bananas grown here.
It's actually a lot easier if you have 11 women doing it together. 🙂
The time you spent with your mom was priceless and now you have her way of making pasteles. I bet they were yummy
Love it! Your Mom is so clean with ingredients, so important. Looks yummy!
Yeah, she's old school. She doesn't take shortcuts when it comes to Christmas Dinner. :-)
@@plantedinpr886 God's Blessings to your Mom & family.
Thankyou, God bless you and your family also. :-)
She definitely ain't cheap on the meat. New subscriber
Love the cleanliness of your mom. Followed her recipe this time, and they came out better than before. I especially like that she chops the veggies in small pieces making it easier and faster to puree the masa, a very important factor. She's so adorable, God bless 🙏❤️. Thanks to your mom. 🤗🙏❤️
Oh yeah, If there is the perfect long way, this is it. No shortcuts; perfect Puerto Rican Pasteles. She learned this with the ladies that live where I live now in Bayamon. They used to get together and make whole bunch them for the church. For Christmas also, They would all activate and make it happen. lol, It was a team effort.
@@plantedinpr886 Thanks again for recording your adorable Mom. Happy Holidays 🙏❤️
I can smell this video. Love the holiday season for this reason!! Thank you to your mama for teaching us how to keep the culture alive 👏🏼
Tu mamá es muy generosa con la carne. Esos Pasteles no estan ciegos. Gracias por compartir y que Dios los bendiga a usted y a su familia!
WOW. I wish I was there. I would invite myself. LOL. All that food looks soooo delicious. God bless your mami. Mine is still alive but has advanced Alzheimer’s. I used to help her all the time to make pasteles to sell. She used to sell them like crazy. We had a mini pasteles factory in the house. We lived in Springfield Massachusetts at the time.
My Mom used to make them for the church in NYC. She and some friends got together and made some in the school she worked at. They sold over $500.00 worth.
Sorry about your mom. She must be a wonderful mom, even now. Did she write down her recipe? I'm a Retired RN... I've
seen many cases of Alzheimer's even in women in early 40's.
It's sad...but show her love always. God bless you both!
@@haydeetorres3602 😭 My mom was an amazing cook too. She has Alzheimers as well....She made mouth watering pasteles to die for. We as kids thought we won the lottery when we'd find a couple of pasteles lost in the back of the freezer one time! Lol.
Jose... what a beautiful relationship you have with your mom. Keep those memories alive. What a wonderful mom you have. Be there now for her, her journey can be hard. She will need constant support and reassurance. As a wonderful son, I'm sure you're there.
I really enjoyed watching mother and son making Pasteles together. It takes time for a great product and keeping the area nice and clean is a turn on for me. ❤😊👏
Que bien viva Puerto Rico
Se ve que tú mamá es una cocinera de verdad, muy detallista en la cocina. Excelente y bendición para tú mamá que Dios te la proteja.
Olives are key!! A lot of them!
Your mom is awesome! Love her!
She was born in 1942. I've heard the same words from her mouth that I heard from your grandmother. Same accent and all.. like clone. :-P
@@plantedinpr886 She is TREASURE- like a fine wine- 1942 was a good year.
Well I loved your Moms way of explaining was very detailed. Very good
Nice to see someone that goes through all the right steps and right seasonings to make these amazing pasteles, I’m make them almost the same use my electric grater to speed the process also add the ham, m, pork skin diced in with the pork and go the extra step of adding the garbanzos, raisins, olives and the pimentos sliced once we start assembling one at a. time so everyone gets a bite of everything in one. I know it’s hard labor but at the end it is rewarding. It’s much easier to get a family gathering to help and enjoy right after.
Yeah, they take long to make. They are good though. My mom doesn't use the garbanzos or raisins. Yep, lots of labor. I remember when I was a kid, the women here in PR used to get together and made an assembly line and split up the task. They made hundreds of Pasteles together. I remember being sent out to pick and cut the cleanest, nicest banana tree leaves so they could finish. :-) Thanks for the comment and have a merry christmas and happy new year. 🙂
Iam going to make this Pasteles soon, I love your Mom recipe she is like me in the kitchen, clean and neet. Blessed your Mom.❤
Thank you. May God be with you and watch over you also. :-)
Dios bendiga a tu linda madre!!! Pasteles are a lot of work but so delicious 🤗
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing. Your mom is amazing! God bless.
Really good pasteles. My only addition is garbanzos,and raisins in the meat. My Cuban grandmother put them in. Love them!
Wow! I truly enjoyed this video! So informative & detail! A must save for sure! You & your mom make a great, fun/funny team but she’s the “real Star” of this video!!! Lol. Your mom is a Master Cook Artist! God bless her and the relationship you have with your mom.
Lol, I put my mom in a video and it's the biggest video I get. Go figure. :-)
I always wanted to learn how to make them... but to me this Pasteles are Masterpieces... all my respect to this Lady
Yeah my mom is awesome. The pasteles come out classic bayamon style like they made it when they gathered together in christmas to make hundreds. It really is a long process but the results are amazing. :-)
Thank you for showing this you did it good
God bless this lady, pasteles are a lot of work but they are soooo good. Great job sweetheart! Dios te bendiga.
I make my masa in my Vitamix and don’t have to cut my guineos or yautia so tiny. My heart goes out to her.
You're very lucky to have your Mom around to teach you these family recipes. My Mom died 5 years ago and I miss her Puerto Rican cooking so much. I miss her every day and I regret not paying attention when she was cooking. She used to make Arroz con Dulce with real Coconut and I haven't been able to find the recipe anywhere, everyone uses Coconut Creme and Coconut milk. The food looks delicious and your mom seems to enjoy cooking . Maybe I"ll try to make these. Thanks for the video and the cooking lesson.
I'm very happy to have my Mom yes. :-) My Grand Mother used to make the arroz con dulce when I was a kid. She put me on a molador. It's like a meat grinder with a handle to spin. I used to grind all of it. The recipes are still here on this mountain. Oddly enough, most of the old women make the food almost identical. They learned together.
I definitely understand about wishing you paid more attention. I too lost my mom a little over 5 years ago and I'd give anything to just walk in the kitchen and see her making PR food again.
There's a channel I watch called Judy's Rincon Boricua & she has a video for arroz con dulce that uses fresh coconut if you're interested. It stood out to me too bc I noticed most ppl just use the canned stuff (me included! lol). It's her Arroz con Dulce TRADICIONAL video (she has a few varieties of the dish). The video is in Spanish but it's very easy to understand and she has written ingredients too. And for the record I don't know Judy!...just like her channel. Hope this help :) God bless!
Hello...I'm brazilian and I like to watch all your videos ❤
:-)
Yummy. Making them for Christmas.
Excellent video. Looks delicious! Thank you.
Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just found this channel… love this 😍
:-D
Que lindo plato
Love this video, so detailed and very informative, thanks for sharing!
Delicioso, rico gracias
Excelente trabajo
Waooo she cooks so goods,God bless you mom..
What a great recipe, can't wait try it!!!
It is worth it. It's a classic recipe that's been passed on by and to many here. It is "The way".
I'm lazy, I use a staperler to close mine.😮
And, I grow my own banana trees.
Charleston, SC😊
I USE ACHIOTE OIL ON THE PAPER ON MY PASTELLAS.
🎄Feliz Navidad!🎄
🤗
lol
Y yo aqui viendo esta receta en enero y ya se me antojo, que linda tu mama y bien limpia; me gusto las ollas que usa de stainless
This is fantastic! Thank You for documenting this!…And for doing it in English 😭
I didn't just do this for UA-cam, I did it for me to. :-)
This was so sweet! She taught me some tricks, I love the old timers! They teach you nice old school tricks of the trade! I’m making mine this weekend & will definately use her tricks!! Are you guys in PR filming? Also, Goya & Le FE is now selling MASA made of green banana in the frozen food section for 12-14 dollars! I’m going to try it this year!
Lol, the masa is the easy part. Pasteles take a long time to prepare. Every time I get a rack of green bananas, I make accapurias. No, my mom lives in Florida. I live in PR and went to visit her. She was actually doing it to teach me how. I decided to film it. I'm so glad I did. If I decide to make a batch of pasteles, I will definitely be using my own video. 🙂
This will be viral very soon- I feel it!
Lol, 100 percent real, no short cuts. The way official.
For this video batch starting with about 20 green bananas (approximately)... how many pastelis did this batch make?
If I remember correctly, we made 24. We ate two of them. The rest went into the freezer. 22
Bonita música
I made the music myself. I could've made it better but I was in a rush. I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
@@plantedinpr886 Do you use regular green banana or cooking banana? Thanks
This is what you call mama love! xoxoxoxo
Yummy
Enjoy it very much
❤ yummy good
If you run real warm water on the green bananas for a few mins, the skin comes off very easy.
I'll be sure to try that as I get many opportunities. :-)
Also you can microwave 20 seconds and the banana peels right off
@@plantedinpr886 I used to put the green bananas in a clean sink and run real warm water and it always worked.
Ok, it's taken me 9 months to realize this comment. Lol, this video has a lot of comments. Thank you for the advice. I've been making alcapurrias and cooking with lots of fresh platanos and green bananas. Honestly, this tip will help me. Thanks. 🙂
Buen provecho DLB
What ate the spices that you folks add in.
Lol, I don't understand the question. LOL, I ate the spices in the pasteles but unfortunately I wasn't able to eat all of them myself.
about the sofrito, only aji and recao, did she use garlic, onion, green pepper, comino?
No cumin. I recently made a sofrito video. ua-cam.com/video/vHoTRTEZq_k/v-deo.html
It's the same Sofrito we made last time. Made with same types of sweet peppers. I bring her a nice batch every December. I have to cut out all the seeds to get it on the airplane.
Garlic, onions, recao, cilantro, green peppers, red peppers, sweet peppers and some oil. :-)
Hi, can you explain what mom said about adding the sofrito cold or hot , something about loosing the flavor...maybe this has been my problem all these years trying to get that PR flavor, I cant get it... help. what does she mean you cant add hot to cold? and what is the sofrito recipe? also waht brand food processor does she use? and have you made your first pasteles yet? How is the house in Pr coming along?
O.K. This here is really important. I discovered this after the video. Here's the fact. When you combine multiple ingredients at much different temperatures it kills the flavor. Meaning; you need to heat them up together then match the basic temperature with what you intend to mix it into. This applies to other meals also. It really does make a difference.
I believe the sofrito is made up of Ajies Dulces (sweet peppers), onions, recao (culantro) and cloves of garlic minced down. I'm pretty sure she puts Cilantro in it sometimes because Culantro is harder to get over there.
Good Luck and I assure you, there are no "better" pasteles around. Funny things is, there are some older ladies here that still get together to make large batches of Pasteles. They come out tasting exactly the same way. (many, many moons ago, she was part of that group that cooked for the church.)
@@plantedinpr886 Thank you so much for your reply. I have asked questions to others pasteleros on UA-cam and they just don't reply. Another question, Mom doesn't use the garnishes on the pasterl? and I noticed the meat was only seasoning with meats juice a and salt, she does not add achiote for color nor add adobo or sazon?
She does use salt but she does it sparingly. Yeah, she did the achiote in the oil. No adobo or sazon. Honestly, it takes a long time especially if you are making a large batch of them. It sometimes feels like the work will never end but... it ends. I guess you can consider the tomatoes on the meal garnish. No garnish on the pasteles though. These pasteles are the cream of the crop. Shortcuts only make them less spectacular. It's like, the masterpiece forms when you do everything right. (the compliments will come). :-)
@@plantedinpr886 thank you again.
@@plantedinpr886 thak you Ok, I am ready to try it again, but only making enough for 12 just incase I mess it up, how many of the berdura do I use for 12 pasteles? cause this also doesnt come out right following others recopies,its either too runny, too dry, no flavor. also, they taste too much like the leaf, i wasg the leaf and put on stove and dry it but the taste is too strong for me and really put in garbage....help?
Do you cook them?
Yeah, you boil them in salted water. 🙂
What is the ingredients in the sofritos, please!
Peppers, sweet peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro/culantro, and Oil.
ua-cam.com/video/vHoTRTEZq_k/v-deo.html I have a video of me making sofrito. Every detail is there.
Can you give me the measurements of the paper cut and the string size? Please first time making them.
Hmmm, I don't have the measurements. I think the paper my mom bought was pre-sized. The string size, my mom just knew it. If you take a long string and wrap a pastel, cut off the extra string, take the string off, then cut the rest of the strings the same size. That's what my mom does but she gets it on the first try.
Good luck on your first try. Honestly, it was a lot more work than I thought it would be. I've always taken them for granted and have been blessed with the opportunity to eat many many tasty pasteles. :-)
WHAT IS THE NAME BRAND OF THE FOOD PROCESSOR?
I'm not sure and my mom is in Ohio in a place that doesn't have a cell service. If I remember I'll ask her when I speak to her. For some reason the word Osterizer just popped in my head but honestly I don't know.
😅I was wondering when you were going to help your mom ?
Hey, I helped her. :P
No le echo calabaza
Ni yo tampoco. :-)
Looks really delicious but it certainly could have been edited alot more ... (rather than watching her dice all 23 bananas, etc)
A lot of people like it. At the time, I wasn't very experienced with editing. It took me every day for 3 weeks to edit that video. I had multi camera shots and lots of footage. I wasn't very experienced with Davinci Resolve at the time. Still though, I'm happy with the result. It's my most viewed video and it has many likes. 🙂
Thanks for the opinion.
Hello 👋 do you have Facebook? How can I find you?
B
Incomplete. Didn't say how to cook and for how long.
Yeah, I realized that 2 years after the video was uploaded. I generally do 30 - 40 minutes but I cook them from frozen. Those were fresh so they didn't take much time to cook.
@@plantedinpr886 thank you. Just learning to cook Puerto Rican food. I love the flavors.
Los guineos no son atanos
atanos?
Some jibaro music from the mountains in the back ground would have been a lot more enjoyable :-D
THAT WAS WELL CHOSEN MUSIC.....
You forgot to show your audience that you boiled the pasteles.
LoL, It's been years since I made this video. You are the first one to notice. I guess I didn't show how to cook them or for how long to cook them.
Don't watch this they don't show how to cook them only make and put together do you steam boil bake? WTFudge
Boil it.
USTEDES,NO HABLAN CASTELLANO,LA MAMA HABLA COMO CHINA!!
No hablo Castellano, y mi mama no habla Como China. Si no gustas El video, no lo tienes que ver.
Haydee, you're hateful.
Too much work
Nah..to make the very best. Have to do the work!. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🤌🏽🥰
Way too much masa in those pasteles! You could have made double the amount you actually made if you didn’t add so much masa. And next time, use more plantain leaves, AND LESS OIL IN YOUR MEAT AND MASA! That’s heartburn central! And where’s the roasted red peppers at the end? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Dude, you have it completely wrong. Those are sweet peppers. I grow them. There's no heartburn. All the sofrito is made fresh. They do have a good amount of banana but the mix works out well in the end. There's olives and meat chunks taking up the space also so there isn't as much massa as it looks like.
These are the pasteles that I grew up with so for me they are absolutely perfect.
@@plantedinpr886 I have no doubt that they had good flavor, but I saw the process, and your mom was putting a “cucharon y medio” on that little piece of plantain leaf, and that huge parchment paper. If she cut that paper in half, she would have saved a lot of paper. You only need a “cucharon” of mass, plantain leaf to the size of the smaller paper, and trust me, you’ll make DOUBLE the amount of pasteles, and they’d still taste great. And what I was saying is that people add a slice of roasted red peppers on top of the masa before wrapping. But anyway, to each their own! Happy holidays!
Interesting there. roast peppers on top of the mass. I get you with the plantain leaves. I've been with my mom in PR and they used banana leaf and wrapped it around (from my back yard). I sort of get you on your preference but I assure you they are good to me. As for the size of the paper, That's the way my mom makes them. I eat two at a time with rice.
Anyhows. Thanks for watching the video and your opinion is always welcome.
:-D
