Bolon de verde are green plantain dumplings, most often stuffed with
cheese and/or chicharrones (pork). This version uses vegan cheese,
and makes a great, satisfying breakfast. It would also probably be good
with some sliced vegan sausage.
Mote Pillo is a traditional breakfast in Cuenca and the surrounding
region. Traditionally made with fluffy scrambled eggs, this dish is easy
to veganize by swapping out the eggs for tofu. It’s the perfect
breakfast to start the day, especially with a cup of strong black coffee
and a few slices of avocado.
