How to Make Puerto Rican Pasteles (paleo, AIP option)
I am excited to introduce you to a wonderful naturally paleo dish from Puerto Rico called “pasteles”. Pasteles are similar to tamales, but the dough is made from gluten-free and grain-free tropical fruit, root, and vegetable starches. Pasteles are a traditional holiday food in Puerto Rico, with many families making them while everyone is together. Having extra hands does make the process go a lot faster! I hope you enjoy the recipe, and don’t forget to watch the videos I made to accompany it — they are critical for your success in making these!
