RECIPE: PIETICHO DE PLATANO
Today I bring you a dish of our gastronomy very interesting, nutritious, criollito rich and with a lot of potassium.
The banana pastiche is similar to the traditional pastiche, only that the sheets of pasta are replaced by ripe bananas making it a delicacy of the Venezuelan Creole food.
The mixture (ingredients) of this dish makes a spectacular difference from the traditional pastiche between the sweet and the acid of the banana.
