Where to find ingredients
Palm hearts can typically be found canned or jarred in the international foods aisle of most large supermarkets. For a fresher option, look for them in Latin American or specialty international food stores. If you cannot find palm hearts, artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained) can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different.
Preparation method
- In a pan, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the butter over medium heat until softened
- Add the chopped palm hearts to the pan and cook for a few minutes
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for about a minute
- Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps
- Season with salt and nutmeg to your preference
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the filling thickens to a creamy consistency
- Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using it to fill pastries
