A traditional Colombian dish that showcases a variety of flavors and textures, Bandeja Paisa is a hearty meal that features beans, rice, meats, and plantains, all beautifully presented on one plate for a feast that is both flavorful and satisfying.
In a large pot, combine soaked beans and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper towards the end of cooking.
In a separate pan, cook the pork belly over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same pan, add chorizo and cook until browned, then set aside.
Sauté ground beef in the pan until fully cooked; season with salt and pepper. Mix with the chorizo and pork before serving.
Cook rice according to package instructions and keep warm.
Fry the plantain slices in a skillet until golden brown and caramelized, then set aside.
Fry the eggs sunny side up in the same skillet, keeping the yolks runny if desired.
To serve, arrange a mound of rice on each plate, topped with a serving of beans, ground beef, pork belly, and chorizo. Place fried plantains on the side, along with sliced avocado and an arepa. Top with a sunny-side-up egg and drizzle with hogao sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
