If you're interested, you can also check out some of the experts on Aruban cuisine. December 1997 Recipe: The versatile pastechi is a plump little pastry filled with spicy meat, shrimp or fish. It appears everywhere and around the clock - at coffee, tea or cocktails, at beach parties or on the most formal buffet tables. Surprisingly light and delicious, pastechis should be prepared in abundance for they disappear rapidly. Pastechis are called patties in the Windward Islands. Dough: 4 cups of flour Prepare the meat filling as follows: 1 lb. finely chopped beef without fat In large frying pan combine all ingredients except beef. Cook over medium heat, stirring till well combined and onion and celery are soft. Add beef and cook till well combined while stirring. Roll the dough into a very thick sheet, then cut out circles about three inches in diameter. Place one tablespoon filling in the center of one pastry circle. Top it with a second circle. Lightly moisten edges and press the circles together. Fold or roll Ihe edges over slightly and flute them as pie crust. Fry the pastechis in deep, hot vegetable oil until golden brown. They may be prepared in advance and heated in the oven just before serving... ENJOY! We will post new recipes every month, so keep coming back!
