Recipes from Venezuela

Venezuela shares much of the Caribbean influences in its flavors, cooking techniques and fruits like the plantain which are served at any and all meals. Green fruits are starchy like potatoes, yellow ones are slightly sweet as the sugar forms, and black skinned plantains are the ripest and sweetest.Do you have a favorite recipe from Venezuela?
