    Ripe Plantain and Bean PureePin

    This Bean and Ripe Plantain Puree is a traditional Colombian side dish. I know it doesn't look good in the picture, but it is delicious and easy to make and goes perfectly with grilled beef, pork or chicken. This time I used canned beans to keep it simple, but my grandmother always made the beans from scratch.

    Buen provecho!

      This looks delicious, I´ve never seen anything like this in Colombia! Is it sweet, or is it at all like Mexican refried beans??

      Some of the best things don't take a great photo. Never stops me from trying it, though. The plantains alone would make me want to make this dish.
      (we had some guava bread pudding at a restaurant last week...it was delicious!)
