Pasteles de Guineo y Cerdo (Pork)

Pasteles made of Guineo, or bananas are examples of our great grandmother's ingenuity. When Yucca crops were bad, our fore-mothers did what they did best - improvise! On tropical islands bananas are abundant, and to feed your family you make do with what you have. The same recipe your great-grandmother had in her head to pass down to your abuelita and perfected in the mother-land of Puerto Rico. Only hand picked herbs and spices, homemade Sofrito, and carne seasoned with extra care to compliment the guineo masa. This handmade pastele is filled with pork , olives, capers, garbanzo and spices, (can be modified to preference, extra charges may apply)

By the Dozen... $45.00

Vegetarian Pasteles


Let's face it - the world has changed. With Mad Cow, Bird Flu and a slue of other diseases that have sprouted through the years some of us have turned away from the Carne. We at Culinary Conquistadora forgive you. Introducing the Vegetarian Pastele! Seasoned like a pastele with the carne substituted with tofu or portabella mushroom. This pastele is packed with peppers, chick peas, raisins, olives and capers. To keep that authentic flavor with a nouveau twist! You can have them in either Yucca (Cassava) or Guineo (Banana) - Email Us Today.

Sold by Dozen (ONLY)... $45.00 per dozen
