Pastele stew (or pastele de oya y mestura) is a Hawaii inspired pork stew of Puerto Rican origin. It is an adaptation of the dish pasteles introduced by the Puertorriqueños who came to work on the sugar plantations in the early 1900s.[3][4] Pastele making is often a laborious task reserved for special occasions and holidays such as Christmas.[5] Pastele stew was developed as a simplified everyday version.[1][6]
It remains a beloved Puerto Rican-inspired dish catered to the local Hawaii palate, but a contentious recipe for Puerto Ricans not living in Hawaii.[3] The pastele stew is found as a plate lunch item at food trucks and restaurants,[7][8] a filling for manapua,[9] and a common fundraising item.[10] As a savory dish, pastele stew pairs with plain white rice or "gandule rice" (arroz con gandules).[11]
