Silpancho

Silpancho is a traditional dish characterized by its huge size and ingredients that are rich in fat and carbohydrates. The dish typically consists of a layer of white rice topped with boiled or steamed potatoes, beef or chicken cutlets, and fried eggs. Silpancho is usually garnished with chopped parsley, onions, and beets. The dish was invented in the city of Cochabamba, famous for its unique cuisine. Its name comes from a Quechua word silpanch'u, meaning thin and pounded, referring to the meat used in the dish. Although it is a traditional dish of Cochabamba, it has become so popular that it quickly spread throughout Bolivia, where it's served in many restaurants with different variations on the recipe.
