Bandeja Paisa
Colombia
The iconic dish of the paisa people of Antioquia. Designed to fuel a full day's work in the mountains.
The great platter of Antioquia — red beans, rice, minced beef, chicharrón, chorizo, fried egg, arepa, avocado and plantain on one enormous tray. Colombia's most celebrated meal.
