About Pasteles
Pasteles are a traditional dish rooted in Puerto Rican cuisine, often enjoyed during the holiday season. Made with a dough of grated green bananas, plantains, taro, and sometimes pumpkin, the mixture is seasoned and wrapped around a filling of savory meat, typically pork, combined with olives, capers, and spices. This hearty mixture is then wrapped in banana leaves and boiled or steamed. Pasteles are a flavorful source of protein and fiber, thanks to the meat and starchy vegetables, and they also provide essential vitamins like vitamin A and potassium. However, their preparation often incorporates high levels of sodium from seasonings and fillings, and the overall calorie count can be significant due to the fat content from the pork and oils. They are best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
