[homemade] Alcappuria

It’s a Puerto Rican fried treat. It’s always the first thing I want when I visit the island. Finally made it for the first time.

Edit: Recipe (amounts are estimated.. it’s more of a feel for me)

Masa:
1lb green banana (around 4-5 bananas)
1 lb yuca or yautia (one large or two small tubers, I used yuca)
1 packet of sazón
2 tbsp of achiote oil (if you can't find it, just do another packet of sazón, I made mine with 1 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of achiote seeds, cook, then strain)
Adobo to taste

Filling:
Note: you can use different fillings such as corned beef, shredded chicken, ground pork, crab. For this recipe I used ground beef.
1 lb ground beef
2 tbsp tomato sauce
1 packet of sazón
1/2 cup of sofrito
1 small onion
1/3 cup of finely chopped olives (optional)
Adobo to taste
Cooking oil to fry
Banana leaf to shape the alcapurria (if you can't find it, brush some olive oil on the parchment paper like I used)
