Instructions

1. 1 Combine yuca, green plantains, yautia, and milk in a blender; purée into a thick paste the consistency of oatmeal. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. 2 Combine lard and achiote seeds in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; heat until lard is melted and reddish in color, about 5 minutes. Strain out achiote seeds. Mix 1/2 of the lard into yuca paste in the bowl.
3. 3 Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and green bell pepper; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat.

5. 5 Smear each plantain leaf with a small amount of remaining lard. Place a large spoonful of yuca paste in the center of each one; top with a scoop of pork mixture. Fold up the sides of each leaf to enclose filling and create a rectangular pastel.
