Are you one of those people who thinks all South American cuisine is basically Mexican? Guilty! 🙋🏻‍♀️🇨🇴

My Colombian friend Jessica invited me to lunch and gave me an insider’s introduction to the flavours of Colombia. Here’s what we devoured…

🥟 Empanadas Colombianas
Made with cornmeal rather than pastry, these crispy little pockets came filled with beef, chicken and cheese, and were served with fresh Ají Colombiano, a vibrant Colombian salsa. The cornmeal pastry made these generously filled pockets all the more melt-in-the-mouth delicious. 

🍽️ Bandeja Paisa
Colombia’s most iconic comfort-food platter, featuring a crisp Arepa (a soft corn cake) sitting on a mold of white rice, Plátano Maduro (sweet fried plantain), Carne Desmechada (seasoned shredded beef) , Colombian chorizo sausage, a fried egg, avocado and and a side of Frijoles Antioqueños (rich, slow-cooked red bean stew).

Everything was hearty, comforting and packed with 'made with love by your Colombian mama' flavour. 

And you know this place is LEGIT Colombian because Jessica handpicked it! 🇨🇴❤️
