It is really yummy! Goes well as a side with rice and beans. I like to mix it all together. Enjoy and hope you like it! From San Juan, sending our best wishes! Luis
Hi, I am so happy I found you. I have been on a quest asking every youtubber that make pasteles or guineos for the difference between green gassed cooking bananas and a regular banana that you eat ripened. can you please clarify this. you stated your bababa grows everywhere in PR, so are they the regular bananas we eat when ripened or are they green cooking bananas? I am attempting to make pasteles and I have been buying the cooking grenn bananas at my supermarket as opposed to the unripened green regular ones, No one is answering this question on the web, can you please......
Does leaving the skin on not give it a bitter taste??? Getting ready to make them but I in all my 35 years of married and cooking for my Puerto Rican Husband, have I ever left the skins on.....
This is my most favorite thing to eat in the whole world, thank you for sharing this recipe
My neighbors are from Puerto Rico, and I tasted this at a party at their house. It’s been on my mind ever since. Delicious!
Arlene, there are many recipes that we have in Puerto Rico. We are going to discover them together!
I love those green bananas.
I'm gonna try this recipe. ❤

Plantains are different than bananas. Goineo's are much smaller and sweet like a regular banana. Here in PR we have both types of trees.
Yes they are regular green bananas that you can eat ripened.
So are these bananas or plantains?
These are green plantains
I believe they are green bananas - not Platanos.....

Boil the guineos with the skin on but sliced down the middle. When boiling is complete, let them cool and then peel them.
