Bruninho is on Brazilian soil, but rice and beans is not his favorite dish
Bruno Mars is on Brazilian soil to fulfill his concert schedule, but his favorite dish is far from rice and beans and other vast and creative culinary delights of the place. The Hawaiian singer loves Puerto Rican pasteles, a traditional recipe from Puerto Rico, widely consumed by families in the country during the Christmas period.
The way the pastels are put together is somewhat reminiscent of the tamale, except that they are wrapped in banana leaves. The dish is a type of tamale made with plantain paste and often filled with pork topped with cooked adobo sauce.
In addition to this version with a blend of green bananas, green plantains, kabocha squash, and sweet potatoes, there is another recipe for pasteles de yuca, made with a seasoned blend of yuca root. Both are wrapped in banana leaves and boiled in water for 45 minutes.
The recipe is laborious and is usually made by more than one person, as there are many steps and ingredients. Making pastels is a ritual that involves the whole family, from preparing the dough to assembling and cooking for the end-of-year holidays.
