ENGLISH

Cooking is one of my hobbies. I love learning new recipes and even trying different flavors and combinations I invent myself.

I know that many people, for practicality or due to time constraints, prepare meals with just one side dish, such as rice with stewed chicken, or pasta with meat, and that's it. I'm a big fan of side dishes with every meal, and I'm not talking about one or two, but up to five. Like the executive lunch, which includes several items on a single tray.

I think the presence of side dishes is not only interesting because of the delicious mix of flavors and different tastes on the palate when enjoying a good meal, but also because of the balance of all the elements of the food pyramid, which are important to have present in every meal. To name a few, proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates (much better if they are unprocessed), among others.

For example, a dish containing stewed grains, which are a source of protein, can be combined with a carbohydrate, salad, avocado (which has natural oils), and plantains. Pasta can also be combined with meat, plantains, and even salad. It's all about playing with the side dishes, which are all those elements or accompaniments we combine, especially with the proteins that are the main part of the meal.

Right now, during Holy Week, the popular combinations include the cuajado (a type of pasta dish), but unintentionally, the dish itself already contains a mixture of all the elements of a balanced meal: chicken or fish, eggs, flour, plantains, potatoes, and vegetables. Adding side dishes to accompany it is a matter of taste, and I love to serve it with a good salad and cassava bread or arepas.

Here I share a super quick recipe for a mixed tuna and chicken cuajado… you can prepare it during these holidays.

Ingredients:
One chicken breast
One medium can of tuna in water or oil
One cup of chopped seasonings of your choice (chili pepper, bell pepper, herbs, onion, and garlic)
6 eggs
One tablespoon of all-purpose flour
One tablespoon of oil
2 medium potatoes
One small carrot
2 very ripe plantains

Preparation:
Boil the chicken breast and shred it.
Boil the carrot and dice it.
Sauté the seasonings in the tablespoon of oil over low heat.
Combine the seasonings with the chicken breast, carrot, and tuna. Add half a cup of water and salt to taste, and cook until very little sauce remains.
Fry the plantains.
Boil the potatoes and slice them.
Beat the eggs with the tablespoon of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add the stew and stir with a spoon or spatula.
In a greased baking dish, layer the mixture, fried plantain, and potato slices until you finish with the remaining mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C (350°F).
Serve with your favorite side dishes.
