The hearty dish of Antioquia, the Medellín region: beans, rice, minced beef, pork crackling, chorizo, fried egg, ripe plantain, arepa and avocado on a single platter.
Ingredients
- 400 g cooked red beans
- 300 g white rice
- 400 g minced beef

How to make it at home
- Warm the beans with hogao and cumin until thick.
- Sauté the minced beef with hogao and salt until loose and dry.
- Boil the pork belly in salted water for 30 minutes, then fry it in its own fat until crisp.
