Best Bolón Recipe - Green Plantain Breakfast in Ecuador
Рет қаралды 5,731
Жыл бұрынOne of the best breakfast dishes in Ecuador is a Bolón de Verde recipe made with unripe green plantains and cheese. I prefer bolon mixto, which includes a bit of pork. In Ecuador, traditional bolon mixto is made with chicharrón, but in my recipe I use smoked rib meat. Bolon is a hearty breakfast comfort food, and along with Ecuadorian tigrillo, it's a great way to cook green plantains.

The green plantains are very popular, and this recipe adds much more excitement to it thanks to the fun and memorable ball shape! Also, I highly appreciate your tips that you add as words on screen. I can imagine the time goes into editing and making these videos. Thank you for bringing this Ecuador special recipe for us, Chef Buck, and CG! I will check out your travel video, too! Have a great weekend and take care!

Interesting!! Here in Indiana, we are more familiar with 'taters.😂 I love to see the foods from places I'll never visit! Thanks, Chef and Camera Girl, for broadening horizons!! Have a great week!!🤩

we've been eating a ridiculous amount of plantain, which is really the tater of Ecuador, although there are actual taters, too--there is no shortage of French Fries in Cuenca--but I've been sticking with the bolones and tigrillos and patacones. Hope you're having a great week as well!

What a breakfast, never had a breakfast like that. Impressive vegetable. I wish i can find one, and cook it like you done it. THANKS A LOT. I might try it with a potatoe.
@ChefBuckRecipes Жыл бұрын
no plantains where you live? If there is an Asian, Latin, or even Indian market in your area, you might take a look there...like Dragon fruit, I see plantains around a lot more often than I used to see them.

I've been enjoying another plantain dish here called Patacones, which is very much like tostones, except the plantain is used almost like sandwich bread...definitely not the healthiest dish, but I'm still eating too many of them
@onyx368 Жыл бұрын
Wow! That looks so delicious. I really do like this plantain recipe. Kind of reminds me of the Christmas cheese ball variations that I have seen over the years. Thanks so much for brand new recipe. continue to enjoy Ecuador 🇪🇨

we always find tasty plantain dishes when we travel to Latin American countries, but so far Ecuador has taken the crown for most ways I've encountered to enjoy plantains...I've never been to Costa Rica...enjoy your trip!

Thank you very much for showing me how to make these. Looks delicious and I bet you're right, more flavor is better. 🍽️☕🍰 Camera Girl and Chef Buck, have a great weekend.
@ChefBuckRecipes Жыл бұрын
green plantain is a lot like potato, so it can handle a lot of added flavor...I think some of the bolones I eat out in restaurants are twice-fried like tostones, but I cook my plantains in water initially, so adding a little extra flavor can only help

in Cuenca, it's cool...usually between 50F and 70F...I never leave the house without a jacket...and it's cloudy a lot with rain most days, usually not too much rain, but we get sprinkled on quite a bit, and I'm glad to have a hat...I wouldn't mind if it was warmer...I usually wear two shirts in the house, and even a hat sometimes 'cause there's no heat.

Some of the pictures showed sauces. What kinds of sauces are good with those?
@ChefBuckRecipes Жыл бұрын
often bolon is served with a side of seco de carne which is kinda like a thin beef stew and the bolon will be resting in the juices, or I've had it served with a creamy aji sauce...I like it with just a runny yolk

I got invited to a guinea pig roast--in Ecuador the dish is called "cuy"--but I didn't go. I'm sorta kicking myself for not going, but I'm also kind of happy that I can say sometimes "no" to food.
