If you have the recipe already typed up, I'd appreciate it if you would email it to me. My email address is on the right side.<BR/>I'm also planning on trying a pastel azteca with a picadillo filling. But that recipe also calls for mole and I think that with the mole and the cheese you end up with too much fat in the dish. <BR/>The tomatillo sauce would definitely help cut down on the fat calories. <BR/>Thanks for the comment.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11526678.post-3361880150209946112007-03-08T16:42:00.000-06:002007-03-08T16:42:00.000-06:00Hi BillieI've adapted a recipe for "Pastel Moctezu...Hi Billie<BR/>I've adapted a recipe for "Pastel Moctezuma" from the Creme de Colorado cookbook. I won't give the details here -- basically the same as you've tried (but without the corn), but the sauce is made with tomatillos (tomates verdes), mixed with cooked onion, jalapenos -- the number would depend on how spicey you like your sauce -- , and cilantro. <BR/>Also, you might try manchego cheese (grated).<BR/>MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
