Fritada de Chancho Recipe: Braised Pork

Patacones Recipe: Cooked Fried Plantains

In April 2014, I visited Guatape in Medellin Colombia, with some friends. After a great walk up the mountain, and of course back down, we had lunch at a very nice bar/ restaurant, called La Fogata.

As an appetizer, we ordered patacones, also known as cooked fried plantains (at least that's my translation).

Pictured here, is one of their fish dishes, and under the fish you can see one of the patacones.
