Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the pino (filling): Sauté the diced onions and ground beef until browned. Season with cumin and paprika. Stir in the raisins and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the pastelera (corn topping): Blend the fresh corn kernels and basil until it forms a thick paste. Cook the paste in a saucepan with a little butter and milk until it thickens (about 10 mins).

  3. 3

    Layer the base: In a clay or oven-safe baking dish, spread the beef filling evenly.

  4. 4

    Add the extras: Distribute the sliced hard-boiled eggs and black olives over the meat layer.

  5. 5

    Top and bake: Pour the corn pastelera over the top, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes until the top is deeply golden and bubbly.
