Vaho

Vaho or baho (both [ˈbao]) is a mix of meat, green plantains and yuca cooked in banana leaves.

It is a traditional Nicaraguan dish originated from the mix of cultures between the indigenous, mestizos and Afro-Nicaraguans of the country.

There is some controversy as to whether the correct spelling is vaho, baho, vajo or bajo.

Vaho is served with ensalada de repollo, a cabbage and tomato salad made with vinegar and lemon/lime juice.

The meat used to make this dish is typically beef brisket.
