Yesterday, Norma and I, (Marshall's Mom) made a Puerto Rican feast. We made Alcapurrias and Pastellios. The Alcapurrias are ground up green bananas and root vegetables with meat stuffing, fried in Olive oil. And the Pastellios are like a turn over, thin dough with meat or cheese in side, then fried in Olive Oil. So good. We made a ton and froze a bunch.
This has been a great bonding time for Norma and I, her sharing what she learned as a little girl living in Puerto Rico. It brought back memories of her mom and grandmother for her. This is a tradition that I want to carry on with my children, for them to remember the smells and togetherness of cooking with their grandmother and mother. And for them to learn how to cook great Puerto Rican food.
Thank you Norma for a great day!
