    This meatball stew or sudado de albóndigas is a comforting meal. Sudados are hearty and rich Colombian stews made with different kind of meats, potatoes, yuca and spices. Colombian sudado is usually serve with with rice an avocado on the side.

    Colombian Sudado de AlbondigasPin

    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 Sudado de Albóndigas 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 Colombian Sudados 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.

      This sudado was a huge hit at home. I made it last week and the only thing I changed was to make a bit more meatballs to have leftovers for lunch the next day. It is delicious as is! Thanks again Erica for all your recipes.

      I made this recipe tonight. Turned out delicious!! When I was cooking the stew, after 40 minutes I realized I put way too much water because it looked too soupy. I ended up putting the meatballs to cook in some olive oil to get some color and the potatoes around the rim. I also softened some carrot and put it in the stew. Very yummy!! The excess liquid was used to put over the meatballs while in the pan to keep them juicy and aswell as when I served.

      This is my second time doing this sudado with your recipe. It's delicious. Thanks for sharing. I did not add the whole 1/2 Tbsp of sazon goya with azafran to the stew because is too much and I dont like the color, but other than that.... is perfect and my Puerto Rican husband loves it. I am Colombian and learn to cook from my mom but I still refer to your page for recipes all the time.
      Thanks again

      Hola;yo te sigo por medio de pinterest pero todo es en ingles; la verdad sigo tu página hace mucho pero en la app no puedo, no entiendo mucho, agradecería si pudieras ponerlo en los dos idiomas, así quienes no hablamos inglés podemos entender más y hacer las resetas; gracias por darnos tu conocimiento a quienes somos colombianas y no sabemos cocinar mucha variedad; yo estoy contenta con el contenido; solamente pediría que en la app fuese de ambos idiomas.
