About Pastelon square
Pastelón Square is a flavorful dish rooted in Puerto Rican cuisine, blending sweet and savory elements. It features layers of ripe plantains, seasoned ground meat (commonly beef or turkey), tomato sauce, and melted cheese, creating a casserole-style treat. Sometimes referred to as the Puerto Rican "lasagna," the plantains serve as a gluten-free alternative to pasta. While its natural sweetness and richness make it a comfort food favorite, moderation is key. Plantains are a good source of vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium, while lean meats add protein. However, the dish can be high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium depending on preparation. Opting for low-fat cheese, reducing oil, and incorporating vegetables like bell peppers or onions can boost its nutritional value. Pastelón Square is a versatile dish that balances indulgence and nutrition when thoughtfully prepared.
