Sudado is a very common dish in Colombia. You can also make sudado with chicken, beef or pork instead of meatballs. My grandmother made this stew at least once a week. When you talk about something that’s truly Colombian, there is nothing more typical than “sudado” or stew. We serve it over white rice.
INGREDIENTS
(4 SERVINGS)
MEATBALLS:
½ pound ground pork
½ pound ground beef
4 tablespoons aliños
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup white cornmeal or masarepa
¼ warm water
STEW:
4 cups water and more as necessary
1 tablet beef bouillon
½ tablespoon sazon goya with azafran
2 large white potatoes cut into four pieces each
4 pieces frozen yuca or cassava
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon aliños
¼ teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
MAKE THE MEATBALLS
1. In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, aliños, salt, cornmeal and water. Knead with your hands until well mixed.
2. Shape the mixture into 8 meatballs, set them on a plate.
MAKE THE STEW
1. In a large pot, place the water, beef bouillon, meatballs, aliños, salt and sazon Goya; simmer over low heat, covered about 40 minutes.
2. Add the potatoes and yuca. Then cover and cook for an additional 35 minutes, until the potatoes and yuca are tender. Check frequently and add additional water as necessary.
3. Uncover, check to see if the potatoes and yuca are tender, add chopped fresh cilantro, and serve over white rice.

Hola Erica!
Muchas gracias por la receta, todo sabia super rico, aunque se me deshicieron las albondigas y como mi esposo es quien cocina mas que yo, el me dijo que a la mezcla le debi haber agregado un huevo para que se pegaran y tambien las debi haber salteado un poquito en aceite para que se doraran por fuera.

Anonymous- Yo nunca le pongo huevo a las albondigas en este plato y me salen bien, pero tu esposo tiene la razon el huevo las amarra un poco.
