Baho
Also known as: Vaho
Leaf-steamed beef, cassava and plantains with an acidic cabbage salad.
About Baho
Asados La Brocha presents baho as a traditional Nicaraguan dish. Its brisket version combines cassava with green and ripe plantains in a pot lined with plantain leaves.
Sour orange, tomato, onion, chiltoma and garlic flavour the beef marinade. A separate cabbage-and-tomato salad brings vinegar and citrus acidity alongside the sweetness of the ripe plantains.
The source describes tender beef and cassava with plantains carrying the marinade juices. Portions are served with the cabbage salad over the steamed ingredients and concentrated juices from the leaf-lined pot.
