This is another one of those meals that I like to cook when I crave a good home cooked meal. My mom often made this meal for my family and me and we all loved it. It was one of those dishes she made when she ran out of ideas.
She serves this dish with rice, salad and avocado on the side, which are common sides for many Colombian dishes. It is simple, but I love this Carne Guisada con Zanahoria. Just the smell reminds me of home.
Buen provecho!

I like this idea. A difference from tomato/salsa sauces. Sure does dress up white rice.

I love the sound of this recipe, but mostly I am intrigue because its common stuff that I use everyday, but just never as you have done in this recipe. Can't wait to change that.

I know the carrots must add a sweetness to this dish. Looks yummy.
