Cut the pork into large pieces, about 200 g per pastel.

Wash the pork with plenty of lemon.

Season the pork with garlic powder, achiote, black sauce, and chopped vegetables (carrots and celery).

Add vinegar for flavor.

Combine all ingredients and cook on the stove until the pork is tender but not fully cooked.

Chop the vegetables (onion, celery, carrot) for the rice.

Sauté the chopped vegetables in vegetable oil until fully cooked.

Add 4 liters of water to the sautéed vegetables for cooking the rice.

Add 6 lbs of rice to the boiling water and season with salt and achiote to taste.

Stir the rice frequently to prevent sticking and check for color.

Once the rice is cooked but not mushy, remove from heat.

Prepare potato and carrot slices for layering in the pastel.

Wrap the pastel in bijo leaves, using a large and a small leaf.

Grease the leaves with oil.

Layer rice, pork, potato slices, carrot slices, and eggplant in the bijo leaves.

Add broth from the pork to the rice for flavor before wrapping.

Wrap the bijo leaves tightly like a gift and secure it.
