So, what is Sudado? It literally translates as "sweaty". Yummy huh? But in a food context, Sudado is a traditional Colombian stew with many variations such as Pork, Beef, Chicken, Fish and Meatballs Sudado. There are also variations in the vegetables used. Potatoes, yuca, carrots and plantains are some of the more common ones. It is a popular dish all over the country and one of my favorite Colombian meals.
Do you have those dishes that you want to make because you need comfort food and because they remind you of what your mom used to make when you were a child? Sudado is that kind of food for me. When I make it, I remember every detail of those family meals. I love this dish with white rice, avocado and tomato salad on the side.

I e-mailed this recipe to my husband so he can have it ready for dinner last night when I got home and the house smelled delicious! The only thing he changed was substitute the onion and scallion for onion powder since I won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. It snowed last night here in Denver and it was such a treat to have this for dinner. Erica, ¡muchísimas gracias nuevamente!

This is another great stew! I like that there strands of saffron with starchy potatoes and yucca, amid big slices of pork.
