Description

Pasteles de Hoja with Picadillo Dominican Plantain Tamales are a classic at Dominican Christmas celebrations. They are made with a delicious dough of plantain, yuca, and pumpkin, seasoned with Recaito and annatto oil. They are filled with a juicy ground meat picadillo made with the rich flavor of GOYA® Tomato Sauce, GOYA® Manzanilla Olives with Pimientos, and the vibrant color of Sazón GOYA® with Coriander and Annatto. Finally, they are wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. They are also perfect for making ahead of time: just freeze them, boil them, and enjoy them when it's time to celebrate. Serve them with your favorite hot sauce and celebrate with authentic Caribbean flavor.
