Prepare the meat: in a saucepan, add the 2 cups of water with the meat, 1 onion and 1 clove of chopped garlic (add salt and pepper to taste).
Cook over medium heat with the lid on for about 35/40 minutes, until the meat is tender.
After this time, remove the meat and let it cool before shredding it with forks. Reserve 1 cup of the meat cooking water.
Prepare the hogao, or tomato-based sauce: heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then add 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped garlic clove and sauté. Stir occasionally until the onion is translucent. Then add the chopped tomato and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
Add the shredded meat and mix well with the tomato-based sauce. Add the cup of broth in which the meat was cooked. Season with salt and pepper and add parsley to taste.
Cook over low heat for a few minutes.
In a saucepan, add 1 cup of water, the pork belly, 1 garlic clove, and salt. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove the pork and set it aside on a paper towel.
In a pan with enough oil, fry the same slice of pork belly until golden on both sides. Remove it and place it on paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
Cut the plantain into thin slices and fry them in the same pan as the pork belly.
In another pan, brown the chorizo.
Cook the egg until the yolk is to your liking.
Cook the rice. Meanwhile, slice the avocado and reserve the cooked beans in a bowl.
Arrange the portions of each component on a large plate.
Add cilantro and a little lime to taste, and that’s it! Enjoy this delicious Colombian Bandeja Paisa ;-)
