como hacer pastel en hoja de yuca super fácil 🇩🇴🇩🇴

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey reduces fat content while maintaining flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

banana leaves

💰Cheaper: parchment paper

Parchment paper can be used for baking but lacks the flavor of banana leaves.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a cost-effective substitute for frying.

Peel the yuca and remove the root.

Grate the yuca until it has a creamy consistency.

In a blender, mix onion, garlic, cilantro, and other vegetables to create a flavorful blend.

Add paprika, black pepper, oregano, and salt to the yuca mixture.

In a separate pan, heat cooking oil and add the paprika to infuse flavor.

Mix in evaporated milk gradually to achieve the right consistency for the yuca.

Prepare the banana leaves by placing parchment paper underneath.

Spread the yuca mixture into a rectangle on the banana leaf.

Add the filling of shredded chicken in the center.

Fold the banana leaf over the filling like a book and tie it with string to secure it.

Repeat the process for the remaining yuca mixture and filling.

Place the wrapped pasteles in boiling water and cook for 25-30 minutes.
