My father-in-law does an amazing job of pasteles though. Yuca with gouda filling. It's so amazing. I bet they would convert you!
Those are called "Bollitos de Yuca"

You're right CB, at least in my husband's family. Everything is La Noche Buena. Christmas Day is an also-ran.
I always host Christmas Eve at my home with roast pernil and all the Dominican accompaniments. Christmas Day we become Americans [with a decidedly Italian influence]
I'll be in SD for New Year's Eve, they're roasting a pig for the family party [Elizabeth, are you coming? There will be lots of good food :squareeye]

Buddy, they're pasteles en hoja. the masa is with Yuca instead!!! Unless you wrap the bolitas in Plantain leaves and flatten them in to a rectangle shape.
doahh!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised they don't eat turrones in nochebuena, for dessert, over there, as we Cubans do.

Really good to see you here again, Juancarlos! In my experience Dominicans do eat turrones at Christmas; not as much as in Spain but the supermarkets definitely bring them in time for the festive season and most nice gift baskets will include a bar of turr?n.I'm surprised they don't eat turrones in nochebuena, for dessert, over there, as we Cubans do.
