Hello, dear food fans! Pierre is here to continue the gastronomic travel. Have you been to Colombia? If not, make a note to come here once to try the unique and unforgettable food of this Spanish-speaking country. I highly recommend empanadas and mazamorra chiquita.

Empanadas

Empanadas refer to pies with fillings - the dish is usually cooked from wheat flour, beef fat, and cheese. The name of the stuffed bread comes from the Spanish verb 'empanar' which means 'wrap' in bread.

For wrap-form dishes, fans empanadas may be recommended. The dish is actually something like pies with filling. Usually, the filling is made of beef and cheese. The name comes from a Spanish word which is translated as ‘wrap in bread’. The best place to order this delicacy is La Castaña: visitors give a high estimation of the dish and place.

Mazamorra chiquita
Mazamorra chiquita

The dish is cooked In Cundinamarca and Boyacá where the grain is cooked with onions, coriander, garlic, faba beans, potatoes, and mashuas, often with parts of ribs or beef.

On a cold day a plate of a hot soup will warm you up, in Colombia order mazamorra chiquita – a traditional first dish. It is made with tripe, dried corn, chard, beef, beans, onions, spices, and other vegetables. The root vegetables which are added may vary in combination, for example, chuguas, cubios, ibias, potatoes. The actual recipe may differ from family to family. At Gran Parrilla Boyacense, you can try a nicely cooked mazamorra chiquita.
