From Recipes Wiki, the recipe book anyone can contribute to!

There are many fried dishes, as frying seems to be the most frequent preparation method of the Colombian cooking: fried puff squares (hojuelas), fried plantains, fried cheese puffs (bunuelos) and various kinds of fried meat. The frying is done in vegetable oil, which is pre-heated in a pot. The traditional Colombian dough requires mixing the ingredients in wide bowls and then rolling them. Some meals, like the chicken based soups require marinating the meat. The marinating is done 1 day before making the soup and garlic and salt are added in the water. Some of the Colombian recipes require sacrificing a lot of time; this is the case of the traditional dessert arequipe, which must be mixed for 4 to 5 hours until it gets thick. Colombians use many herbs and spices, which are usually dried before cooking and chopped. Almost all onions and garlic’s included in the meals are chopped, as well and tomatoes are peeled and then mashed for sauces.
