About Pastel en hoja
Pastel en Hoja is a traditional dish from the Dominican Republic, often enjoyed during celebrations or special occasions. It consists of a mashed root vegetable dough, typically made from plantains, yuca (cassava), or a combination of both, which is then filled with seasoned ground meat, such as beef, chicken, or pork. The mixture is wrapped in banana leaves and boiled until tender. While rich in flavors and a source of protein from the meat, Pastel en Hoja can be calorie-dense due to the starchy base and cooking methods. It also provides dietary fiber from the root vegetables and micronutrients like potassium and vitamin C. However, the filling may include saturated fats depending on the type of meat and added oils. Enjoying it in moderation alongside a fresh salad or light side dish can help balance its nutritional profile.
