Latin American food differs from country to country and region to region. The spices used are also different and shared spices are also used in different quantities.

Bolivian cuisine is a mixture of Spanish cuisine added to the local Aymara traditional food. For a good measure, they have adapted Argentinean, French, German, Italian and Arab cuisine to suit their tastes. The local staples are corn, potatoes, quinoa and beans. The use of rice, wheat, meat like chicken and pork is common too.

The other cabbage recipes I have made in the past are Cabbage Salad, Rice Holubtsi-Ukrainian Cabbage Rolls, Cabbage Fitters.

This spicy cabbage and potatoes from Bolivia is a part of Explore Latin American Cuisine and is adapted from here.
