Ingredients

  • 2 cups red beans (soaked overnight)
  • 8 cups water
  • 1/2 pound chorizo, cut into slices
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound pork belly, diced
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 ripe plantains, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup arepas (corn cakes)
  • 1/2 cup hogao sauce (tomato and onion sauce)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  • 1.

    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.

  • 2.

    In a separate pan, cook the pork belly over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  • 3.

    In the same pan, add chorizo and cook until browned, then set aside.

  • 4.

    Sauté ground beef in the pan until fully cooked; season with salt and pepper. Mix with the chorizo and pork before serving.

  • 5.

    Cook rice according to package instructions and keep warm.

  • 6.

    Fry the plantain slices in a skillet until golden brown and caramelized, then set aside.

  • 7.

    Fry the eggs sunny side up in the same skillet, keeping the yolks runny if desired.

  • 8.

    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.
