It is a simple dish and a popular yet inexpensive local delicacy in the province of Cotabato in the Philippines. It's called pastel and consists of boiled or steamed rice topped with sauteed meat or fish, then wrapped in banana (or plantain) leaves. A similar dish is also popular in Colombia and other Latin American countries. One might liken it to Mexican tamales.

For this recipe, I chose to top my rice with Filipino longganisa in one pastel and flaked fish adobo on another. But you can always experiment with your choice of topping.
