I love them with, even though I don't actually eat them (I'm a weirdo I know) I like the flavor that the raisins give them.

Re: Pasteles...with or without raisins?

Pasteles, pronounced Paa-TEL-le, is a traditional Puerto Rican dish similar to a tamale. There are pasteles de masa, pasteles de yuca (cassava) and pasteles de arroz (rice).

The dough or masa is made of a combination of grated green banana, green plantain, taro and pumpkin. Or of cassava or rice. The vegetables have to be peeled and grated on the finest holes of a cheese grater by hand or grated with the finest grating plate of a food processor. The masa is then seasoned with liquid from the meat mixture and annato oil, placed in a piece of banana leaf with a sheet of parchment paper under it. It is then stuffed with stewed meat usually pork or chicken, folded, tied then boiled for an extended period of time

I wish I could impress my mother in law (who is Ecuadorian and makes them too) and make them for her!

Is it fairly easy?
