La bandera dominicana

La bandera dominicana is a Dominican lunch made from several dishes served together: white rice, stewed beans, meat and salad. Chicken and beef are common choices for the meat. Red kidney, pinto or cranberry beans can be used. Its name means the Dominican flag, linking an everyday meal with national identity.[1]

The components are prepared separately, with beans often started before the meat and rice. Clara González describes the meal as varying between households, with substitutions such as stewed fish, pork or pigeon peas. Fried green or ripe plantains and avocado may accompany it.[1]
