How to Make Pasteles

One of my fondest memories of growing up in Puerto Rico is the tradition of making and serving pasteles for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The difficult part is assembling and wrapping the pasteles. It's hard work, but well worth the effort. Get together a bunch of family or friends and make a day of it. Don't forget to make enough for everyone to take home.

Matthew, I’m not sure what you are referring to. If you click on the “pasteles” link in the post, you will find the recipe and if you click on the ” assembling and wrapping the pasteles” link, you will see a step-by-step pictorial on how to wrap them properly.
