Ecuadorian food: bolon de verde
One of my favourite dishes or snacks when visiting the Coastal region of Ecuador! Bolón de verde literally means big ball of green plantain. It is a green plantain dumpling served in the Coastal region of Ecuador where green plantains abound. This is a great option to serve at breakfast together with a glass of orange juice or a cup of coffee and sometimes some restaurants will add fried eggs.
If you are in South America I would love to see your pictures.

Despite how it looks, it is actually not an easy dish to make due to the time it takes to cook and mash the plantain.

Bolon de verde is a traditional Ecuadorian dish made from green plantain and cheese. The dumplings are fried and stuffed with white cheese, then served warm and crispy.
