[Leica] Nathan's PAD 24/1/2021: Puerto Rican food

[Nathan Wajsman]

I usually do the cooking duties in our house. But once in a while, my wife gets the craving for food from her native Puerto Rico and takes over the kitchen for the day—those dishes are very labour-intensive. So it was this weekend. She decided to make pasteles, a dish made of ground root vegetables with a core of meat and chickpeas, wrapped in banana leaf. Becuase this kind of food is also eaten in South American countries such as Colombia and Venezuela, and we have sizeable populations from those countries around here, my wife can find the ingredients in local supermarkets. Four images.

Here she is, assembling the pasteles:

Once everything is assembled, the pasteles are boiled:

And then the deliciousness is unwrapped and devoured:

Bon appétit!
