Cayeye
Cayeye is a Colombian cuisine dish made from mashed green plantains or guineos, a type of green bananas. It is principally eaten for breakfast. Cayeye is from the coastal region of Magdalena, Colombia including Ciénaga, Zona Bananera, Santa Marta, Fundación and Aracataca.
Green guineos or plantains are boiled and then mashed with a sofrito of sauteed tomato, onion, minced garlic and sometimes achiote. Cayeye is served with grated queso costeño and butter. It can also be served with meat, fried fish, shrimp, or crab. A fried egg can be added on top and accompaniments can include avocado.
