Ingredients to make majadito:
1. Boil the puddle in a pot with water until it is tender. For those who do not know this product, the Charque, also known as Charqui, is generally dehydrated meat of cow. It can be replaced by chicken, duck, turkey … The Charque is widely used in the Andean area throughout South America and began as a way of preserving meat for great periods of time. Currently, it is used for all kinds of elaborations, such as tamales, stews, empanadas …
2. When the puddle is ready, strain the meat and reserve the liquid for later. Snove the charque and jump into a pan with a little hot oil.

Trick: The traditional majadito is usually orange, which is obtained by skipping seeds from Urucú (Achiote). If you use them, you should save them before and remove them to skip the vegetables.

Trick: In case of not having enough with the cooking water of the puddle, you can add some broth or water.
7. Let the ingredients integrate a bit and, then add the Charque. Mix and let the Charques majadito cook for approximately 18 minutes. After this time, cover the pot and leave it for 2 more minutes to the fire so that the rice absorbs the liquid and all flavors are integrated.
8. While the rice is cooked, prepare the other part of the majadito, the banana. To do this, peel the bananas, cut them in half throughout and cook them fried in a pan with very hot oil. You can also make them grilled, but they must be very golden.
9. Finally, cook the fried eggs to crown the recipe of Bolivian Majadito. If you prefer, you can cook the grilled eggs.
