Pabellon Criollo

"Pabellón Criollo is Venezuela’s national dish, and for good reason, it’s a soulful, satisfying quartet of flavors that celebrates the country’s rich culinary heritage. This recipe brings together slow-roasted, spice rubbed beef chuck, stewed black beans infused with cumin and paprika, fragrant garlic rice, and crispy sweet fried plantains. Though the total time clocks in at 3 hours and 30 minutes, the result is a vibrant, well balanced meal. Served in neat rows, this dish is a celebration of flavor, patience, and cultural pride. "
