    What is Pusundao?

    It is a traditional dish from the Nariño department of Colombia, which is located in the Pacific region of the country. There are different variations of this popular dish, but these comforting stews are usually made with salted beef, chicken, or fish (bagre).

    The meat, fish or poultry is slow cooked with broth or coconut milk. Vegetables, such as potatoes, plantains, yuca, tomatoes, onions, and peppers are added, along with different spices and herbs such as garlic, cumin, achiote, cilantro, and parsley, among others. The ingredients vary from one type of Pusundao to another, depending on whose cooking, but the goal is always to obtain a delicious and very flavorful stew with root vegetables.

    Traditionally this Pusundao de Carne Serrana is served with sliced cooked egg on top. Also, for a more substantial meal, serve over white rice with avocado and hot sauce on the side.

    This recipe calls for salted beef, chicken and beef for stew, but you can certainly experiment with another type of beef, or a blend. Hope you like this pusundao de carne recipe as much as I did. It's simple, hearty, and comforting. I also have a Pusundao de Pescado(fish) recipe here if you want to try it.

    Buen provecho!

      In the preamble it says "slow-cooked" but the cooking time seems to be only about 40 minutes. We have a slow-cooker (US = crockpot) and normally for Saturday lunch I use a recipe that starts cooking at 3 a.m. and cooks for about 10 hours on a low setting allowing all the flavours to meld and even the toughest bit of saddle leather to come up "fork-tender".

      Do you think that this recipe could be modified to suit what I call "slow-cooking"? I know I would have to be a little choosy about what potatoes to use (probably more waxy than floury so that they don't turn to purée).

      This is a gorgeous hardy stew. Not sure I ever really used slated beef. I always love the addition of eggs on top of meals like this. I am hungry now.

      This looks amazing. A cold breeze is blowing through my New York City window and that looks like it could warm me up.
