Pasteles - Puerto Rico

Pasteles hold a special place in many Latin cuisines, but especially Puerto Rico's, which is credited with their invention. Stewed meat is wrapped in grated plantains and green bananas, before being wrapped in banana leaves and boiled. The savory treat is labor-intensive, but it also allows families to gather together and share the work at Christmastime. If you'd like to make your own pasteles, try this recipe.
