PASTELE STEW RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Provided by carvalhohm2

Number Of Ingredients 18

STEW:
4 pounds pork butt, cut into cubes
salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
2 onions, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
2 bundles cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
5 Hawaiian chili peppers
3 cups water
1 small can tomato paste
1 can pitted whole olives
MASA:
8 green bananas, I used 4 and it was plenty
ACHIOTE OIL:
1 cup vegetable oil
achiote seeds

Steps:

  • MASA: First, slice the skin of the green bananas all the way down on each side lengthwise, then soak green bananas in really hot water, just under a boil, for 5 to 10 minutes. This makes removing the skin very easy. Peel bananas and grate, using a fine grater, into a bowl. Set aside. ACHIOTE OIL: Heat vegetable oil in an old pot and add achiote seeds. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes and remove from heat. Keep oil in a pot and allow to cool. You can store oil for later use in a glass jar. Use extreme caution when working with achiote oil, as it will stain. STEW: Cut meat into cubes and chop onions, bell peppers, cilantro, chili peppers, and garlic. Cook pork with oil in a large pot, adding salt and pepper. Add cumin and oregano. Add onions, bell peppers, garlic, chili peppers, and cilantro to pot and cook for 30 minutes. Add 3 cups water and cook another 45 minutes. Taste and add additional salt, pepper, and seasonings, if necessary. Add tomato paste and cook another 30 minutes. Add half of the achiote oil to the stew, stir well, then add remaining oil. Add olives and green banana (masa) one large spoon at a time, slowly, until desired thickness is achieved.

PATELE STEW



Patele Stew image

This is a simple version of this dish...because it assumes that you have the pateles (or pasteles) on hand. I couldn't add it into the ingredient list, but you will want about 4 pateles to add in at the appropriate time. It is simple to find a recipe for them. From AlohaWorld
