This is a large plate of food. It contains beans, white rice, beef, sweet fried fried plantain, a fried egg, pork cracklings, sausage, a slice of avocado and an arepa.
About: First you must know that the word “paisa” is an abbreviation of the word paisano, meaning countryman. It’s an affectionate term used for people of the state of Antioquia, the Coffee-Growers Axis (Caldas Department, Quindio, Risaralda) and part of Valle del Cauca. This dish is huge because the “paisas” like everything big and extravagant, compare them to Texans. Bandeja Paisa is not found in Colombian recipe books before 1950. In 2005 the Bandeja Paisa was named Colombias national dish by the Colombian government with a new name, Bandeja Montañera (mountain dish). We still call it Bandeja Paisa.
