Majadito (Rice with Pounded Dried Beef)

Eastern Bolivia's rice dish: charque, salted and dried beef, soaked, boiled and pounded in a mortar until it falls into threads, then cooked through rice coloured yellow with annatto. It comes with a fried egg, fried plantain and boiled yuca. The name is the method — majao means pounded — and meat beaten apart rather than cut spreads evenly through every spoonful of rice.

Pique Macho (Beef and Sausage over Fries)

Bolivia's great sharing platter from Cochabamba: crisp fries piled with seared beef and sausage, then onion, tomato and hot locoto pepper, finished with zigzags of mayonnaise and mustard. Reduce the sauce onto the meat in the pan so the fries stay crisp, and serve the moment it is plated.
