Colombian recipe request

Colombian recipe request - Beehaw

Hi Beehaw! Last week, I made an authentic gumbo with a painstaking dark roux and ate it while watching The Princess and the Frog with my girlfriend. I quite enjoyed cooking a meal that matched the movie and wanted to do a themed dinner again for our next movie, Encanto! I haven’t seen Encanto yet but I’m vaguely aware it’s Colombian. Does anyone have suggestions for popular Colombian dishes? I am a hobbyist cook so long and intricate recipes aren’t a turn off. I live in Southern California so I have lots of access to Mexican and international markets. Thanks and looking forward to your suggestions!

Caldo de Costilla is a staple at my house because of how easy it is. Basically a "throw everything into the pot until it tastes good" hangover stew.

Kenji was mentioned; he has a ton of Colombian recipes since his wife is Colombian if I recall correctly. He had a recent video with another really unique and cool looking soup that I haven't gotten around to trying yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFLzI_Tq8P4

Caldo de Costilla (Colombian Beef Rib Soup) Recipe (Gift Recipe)

This hearty soup from the Colombian Andes uses a handful of ingredients and takes only a few minutes of active time to put together. It’s traditionally served for breakfast (especially after a night of dancing and drinking) along with hot chocolate and arepas, but it’s hearty enough to serve for any meal. Because of its relatively neutral flavor profile, it’s good to make in large batches (the beef broth can easily be doubled or tripled through Step 4) to be doctored into different dishes (see Tip).
