A Spoonful of Sofrito: People Try Puerto Rican Pasteles!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

People Try Puerto Rican Pasteles!


Sofrito Lovers,

It's Navidades (Christmas time) and nothing says Navidades like Pasteles!  For those of you who've never heard of Pasteles, they're a Puerto Rican delicacy made of green banana or plantain dough filled with stewed pork or chicken, which are wrapped in a banana leaf and then boiled.  Think of them as a Caribbean tamale, but way better and not made from cornmeal.

Check out the video posted below from the brilliant creators of Pero Like and enjoy their varied reactions to Pasteles!  Great ready to laugh and learn!

Go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!
