A typical Nicaraguan baho

Vaho or baho (both [ˈbao]) is a mix of meat, green plantains and yuca cooked in banana leaves. It is a traditional Nicaraguan dish originated from the mix of cultures between the indigenous, mestizos and Afro-Nicaraguans of the country.

In Nicaraguan Spanish and some other dialects, the name is pronounced with /x/ between vowels as [ˈbaxo]. There is some controversy as to whether the correct spelling is vaho, baho, vajo or bajo.

Vaho is served with ensalada de repollo, a cabbage and tomato salad made with vinegar and lemon/lime juice. The salad tops the meat, yuca and plantains. The meat used to make this dish is typically beef brisket. For some families, it is a traditional Sunday dish. It is also served in many restaurants.
