La yaroa<br />

The yaroa<br />

No se precisa exactamente cómo nació la yaroa, aunque se cree que<br />

surgió en Santiago de los Caballeros, al norte del país, a finales del<br />

pasado siglo XX o a principios del XXI. Pero su origen está matizado por<br />

las diferentes historias urbanas que se lo adjudican. No obstante, se ha<br />

difundido con suma rapidez. Se prepara con plátano maduro hervido<br />

o papas fritas, carne de res molida, carne de pollo o de cerdo, queso,<br />

cebolla, salsa de tomate, mayonesa, ketchup y aceite de oliva. El resultado,<br />

un plato particular de la gastronomía urbana nocturna, una combinación<br />

cargada de energía, aromas y vistosidad.<br />

It remains unknown where the yaroa came from, although it is believed<br />

that it arose in Santiago de los Caballeros, in the north of the country, at<br />

the end of the 20th century or early into the 21st century. But its origin is<br />

nuanced by the different urban stories taking the credit for it. However,<br />

it has spread very quickly. It is prepared with boiled ripe plantain or potato<br />

chips, ground beef, chicken or pork, cheese, onions, tomato sauce,<br />

mayonnaise and olive oil. The result is a particular late-night urban dish,<br />

combining energy, aroma and eye-candy appeal.<br />
