👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Prepare the filling: Sauté onion, bell pepper, tomato, and garlic in a little oil until softened.
- 2
Add the shredded chicken, achiote powder, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the flavors have melded.
- 3
Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine masarepa, salt, and warm water. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. Add more water if needed, but avoid making it too sticky.
- 4
Assemble the pasteles: Take a portion of dough, flatten it into a disc, and place a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges, forming a half-moon or oval shape. Ensure there are no holes.
- 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- 6
Carefully fry the pasteles in batches for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 7
Remove pasteles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓Ensure the filling is not too wet, as this can make the dough soggy.
- ✓The dough should be soft and easy to handle. If it's too dry, it will crack; if too wet, it will be sticky.
- ✓Fry at the correct temperature to ensure the pasteles cook through without burning.
