About Pabellon

Pabellón Criollo is a traditional Venezuelan dish that combines shredded beef, black beans, white rice, and fried plantains. Often considered the unofficial national dish of Venezuela, it beautifully balances savory, sweet, and hearty flavors. The slow-cooked beef is rich in protein, while the black beans provide fiber and essential nutrients like iron and magnesium. The white rice serves as an energy-boosting carbohydrate, and sweet plantains add a satisfying dose of potassium and natural sugars. While nutritious, the dish's potential calorie content can vary depending on portion sizes and the use of oil for cooking the beef and frying the plantains. Some variations also include fried eggs or soft cheeses, adding extra richness. For a healthier spin, you can use brown rice, bake the plantains instead of frying, or go light on additional oils. Nonetheless, Pabellón is a comforting and flavorful dish deeply rooted in Venezuelan culinary heritage.
