I don’t
really mind cilantro, and no, I don’t use them for my ‘pasteitjes’ either. Isn’t cilantro just celery but then in smaller form? As a matter of fact, when I bought celery here the first time, I thought someone had mistaken me. “No, the smaller ones, I’d like”. And I used to throw the stems out and snip up the leafs! “Oh, you’re supposed to eat the stems?”.
Anyways: Behold the pasteitjes. They’re not particularly interesting: over the years I found they’re easier to fold in squares instead of the tradional ‘half moonshapes’. Secondly, I prefer using the ‘double breading’ method, which is (once again) a personal invention to get a nice thick crunchy crusts around the dough. The whole process took about 5 to 6 hours: from preparing the crepes to the required cool down periods for the breading process.
