    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.

      This looks very good. I love remembering the family meals. I didn't always like what my mom made and can't believe how picky and eater I used to be.( Funny, now I think my parents are more picky than I was.)

      It's quite different than what I am used to as these ingredients were not available when I was at home but the pork stew sounds delicious.

      This sounds delicious...I love the veggies that are in it - yucca and plantain heaven. Comfort foods are the best. Any type of lasagna or baked pasta reminds me of my mom since that was my favorite thing that she would make!

      What a funny translation. Beautiful recipe though. I am a great fan of yucca. This is one for me to try for certain. Thanks.

      I would love to try this stew; I have never used yuca in cooking and I am intrigued by it; bet it adds a richness of flavor.

      Pork chop stew, I love it! Those flavors must rock together. I have several Columbian recipes to try from Raichlen's Planet BBQ Book, I'm just behind. I'm curious to see how authentic they are in your eyes:)

        Just so you know the country's name is Colombia, not Columbia. So when refering to anything related to the country is Colombian.

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

      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!
