Growing up in Ponce, I eat a good share of this traditional dish. I never knew that there was a similar dish in the US Mainland called Shepherd’s Pie. Of course, shortly thereafter when I grew up I found out about it.
As always, I try to make recipes my own, therefore, I developed a recipe of my idea of the Pastelón, but instead of ground beef, I chose to make it with ground turkey. Also, instead of the popular rice and beans side, I chose to accompany it with a nice side of Kale chips. Furthermore, I did not use milk or butter to mash the potatoes and finally, no cheese. Is it a crazy idea? Sure, but that’s how I cook, smile. Category: Entrée Approx.
