A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.
4th Annual Universal Pasteles Contest!
Sofrito Lovers,
Mark your calendars! Set your IPhone reminders! Saturday, November 18th from 2pm-9pm join us at The 4th Annual Universal Pasteles Contest at the El Barrio Artspace!
This contest is a celebration of the incredible art of making Pasteles, which I describe as Puerto Rican tamales made from green banana, platanos, or yucca dough. The dough is filled with a stewed meat (pork, chicken, or whatever), wrapped in platano leaf, boiled, and served hot with your choice of condiments. Usually served during holidays, good pasteles are a celebration unto themselves! They remind us of family, holidays, good times with friends, and how beautiful our culture is!
Every Boricua (Puerto Rican), thinks his or her parent or grandparent makes the best pasteles or that their family recipe is the most amazing! This competition puts the daring and bold's claims to the test! It's all friendly competition of course...yeah, right!
Check it out and GO TASTE FOR YOURSELF! ¡Buen provecho!
