Pabellón Criollo y a Caballo

[caseydog]

I don't really like them, but I can live with them. I just hope fish-heads don't come back into fashion.

Especially on cheesecake. :shock:

CD:becky:

I guess cheesecake is the reason you should use plantains.:shock:

 

[caseydog]

nice!!!! that is the only positive to come out of that country in a while...

Oil?

But don't put it on cheesecake.

Something tells me CD is going to enter cheesecake.

You should use fried plantains because they are traditional in the Caribbean and South America, and because the are easy to make, and quite tasty.

I'm not sure I'd put them on cheesecake, but it might be an interesting experiment.

CD :-D

^^^ Ooooo, no fried egg! And plantains!

I think Bigabyte's going to have to get one of those patented banana mashers.

I use a can of diced tomatoes, so I don't infringe on the patent.

Well, fark me running.:becky:

I guess I didn't discover something after all.:doh:

Had I known you knew this dish, I would have consulted you first for some advice.:laugh:

...and here I thought I was only stealing Guerry's dishes.

Now I have to go see how you fared in that Throwdown.:thumb:

In actual fact, you ARE the first to post Pabellon Criollo. I only had three elements, the beef (carne mechada), black beans (caraotas) and the plantains. Without the rice, it's just meat and beans. I didn't even get the plantains right - Pabellon usually has pan fried plantains cut lengthwise, I made tostones which is more Colombian.

Yours looks very good. It remains one of my favorite meals. Bien hecho.

I rarely eat desserts, but I love cheesecake. I have no idea how I'd make one on the smoker. In fact, smoked cheesecake doesn't sound even slightly appetizing. :twitch:

I knew I should have gone to Cozad to get that Capybara.:doh: I'm not sure how comfortable it would have been about the lengthwise slicing though.:shock:

Where do you go to get one of the beauty queens?

Interestingly, ours is the one that looks Latina and the Venezolana looks like she is from Nebraska.

When I first read the title I thought you were making something with horse meat. :shock:

Then I realized it was "a caballo" which is completely different. :mrgreen:

Great looking dish, and I would hit it hard.

Using the fried egg crutch was a nice touch.

 

[bigabyte]

Using the fried egg crutch was a nice touch.

Fried egg crutch?:shock: I'm not sure I would rely on fried eggs as a crutch. Maybe as a topping, but not so much a crutch. Although I do kind of like the sound of "fried egg crutch".

Not sure but I think Guerry meant "fried egg couch"... Imagine how comfortable, squishy and tasty that would be. :heh:

 

[Al Czervik]

Oh... and BTW, that looks farking tasty! :thumb:

 

[Bonewagon]

I say it looks pretty good, even with the egg, and even if bigabyte is a commie pinko.

Ours is actually Lebanese heritage, none the less, hot. As for the Venezuelan beauty, I am pretty sure those folks are all Capybyran, hence looking like they are from Cozad. Although, some folks from Cozad clearly would look better in a bikini than others.
