Cayeye

(Mote de guineo)

Cayeye is a Colombian dish originating from the Caribbean (coastal) parts of the country. Also known as mote de guineo, it is prepared by cooking guineos (small green bananas), which are then mashed and combined with refrito – a concoction made with tomatoes, achiote, garlic, onions, and red bell peppers.


Once prepared, cayeye is traditionally served for breakfast with a variety of ingredients: from beef, fish, and seafood to grated cheese, fried eggs, and avocados.
