There is a Puerto Rican Dish called 'Pastelon' or 'Pinon' one of the main dishes in the Island but not every body knows or have the time to make it. Is a bit complicated to make but it is very delicious and liked by most people.
PASTELON
1lbs ground beef
2 dozens of eggs
4 Yellow plantains
Small bottle of Corn oil
Garlic, onions, red peppers and cilantro 'Sofrito'
Frist blend the garlic, onions red peppers to make the sofrito, in a pot cook the ground beef with the sofrito and salt pepper to taste just like making a Chilly but with out the sauce.
The yellow plantains should cut long side and like a quarter of an inch thick and put in water for a few minutes to take out the stickiness, then deep fry them into the start to float in the oil. Remove them from the pan and place them in a plate cover with towel paper to absorb the excess oil.
Now we make 2 omelets with the 2 dozens of eggs 'big ones' before the second is fully cooked the trick is going to be to layer out the Pastelon, first one layer of beef then a layer of plantains and so on till you run out of layers now put on top the second omelet so it may finish cooking on top of the layers of ground beef and plantains and let it rest till it reaches room temperature.
Put on a big plate and slice it like a pie chart LOL do not take the bigger part for your self other people want to eat to LMAO
I am bringing this to my mother to cook. Or my father to make. Thanks for sharing.
