This dish is called bollos pelones and it is prepare in Maracaibo, a city situated in the eastern region of Venezuela, when I was a girl I saw boys walking around in midtown with a big pan full, with the intention of selling them, they sold them hot and they put some home made chilly sauce on top, I can still feel the smell of them.

You can prepared them with chicken or fish and use the sauce you like to cover them. If you fill them with chicken, fish or prawns you can use a home made tartar sauce.
