Bandeja Paisa...sort of (by G)
As we didn't have tinned pineapple slices I was not sure what to do with ham steaks... then I remembered one time when I was in Medelllin, Colombia (oh yes, I'm well travelled). I went into a small restaurant and ordered randomly from the menu. What came was a wonderful mix of stuff on a plate sausages, beans, salt pork, rice, an egg and (somehow I'd forgotten) pork crackle.

Columbian National Dish? Outstanding. There is something very comforting about eating beans and rice. It certainly would have been much more comforting with the addition of pork rind.
ReplyDeleteI can highly recommend a read of the Bandeja Paisa Wiki page where I learnt a "diet-friendly version of the dish is very popular in Bogotá, which replaces pork with grilled chicken breast, black pudding with salad and chorizo with a wiener". Horrfying.
