13 Traditional Colombian Dishes To Try
Colombia is perhaps better known for its coffee than for its food. Colombian dishes are nonetheless full of flavour, colourful, and comforting. They often include pork, potatoes, plantains, chicken, beans, corn, and rice. While some might say that Colombian dishes are bland, overly fried, too salty and meat-heavy, that is not always the case. Here are 13 delicious Colombian dishes you have to try.
Colombian-Style Breakfast
This is my ultimate Barranquilla breakfast. Now, before everyone freaks out, no this breakfast is not popular in Medellin or Bogota, this is specific to the coast of Colombia and it is one that I absolutely loved and grew up with. Start your day with a hearty and delicious meal that brings together crispy fried plantains, perfectly fried eggs, and a sprinkle of crumbled queso Cotija or queso Costeño.
Calentado (A Typical Colombian Breakfast)
Don't know what to make with leftover beans or lentils? Then do as Colombians do and make a delicious calentado, which literally translates to, "Reheated". Serve with a side of fried eggs and your favorite hot sauce. #calentado #colombianbreakfast #colombianrecipes #colombia
Colombian Changua Breakfast
You don’t have to be in Colombia to experience a tasty and filling changua breakfast. The recipe only calls for a few ingredients, many of which you may already have at home. With a few simple steps and a short cook time, you have a delicious taste of Colombia ready to enjoy at home. #colombianfood #colombia #recipes #eggs #soup #breakfast #amigofoods
