Pastechi is a small sweet bread stuffed with spicy meat, okra or fish. This is the dish of choice for parties, special occasions, the coffee hour, a day at the beach or a sightseeing tour.
Receta:
The mass: Pour all ingredients save the water in a big pot. Mix them well, pour some water little by little until a big mass is formed and pluck it out of the pot walls and bottom.The meat:Add all ingredients together and cook them at a slow burn, save the meat. The meat is only added after it’s been sliced in small cubes and the mixture of spices has also been added to it. Let them burn until they’re pretty well cooked.In the meantime, shape small ball out the formerly kneaded mass (the size of the balls if your call). Then stuff the balls with the cooked meat. After all balls have been stuffed, moisturize their edges, fold them slightly and groove them until a pie shape is obtained. Deep-fry the pastechis in burning cooking oil until they get crispy enough.
