    Sudado de PescadoPin

    When I was growing up in Colombia, my mom made sudados once a week. Sudados are a popular dish in Colombia and we have many variations of this dish. For my mom, sudado is the perfect one pot, quick and simple meal. She would make a big pot so we would have left overs for the next day and served it over white rice and fried pantains with avocado on the side.

    The aromas of this dish remind me of home whenever I cook it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. This is traditional Colombian home cooking, the style of food that my mom knows how to make very well. Some other variations of sudados are: chicken, beef, pork, meatballs and fish.

    Buen Provecho!

      I'm going to make this one tomorrow for my daughter, but I will use salmon instead. I think it will come out right. I will let you know, and perhaps take a photo (only if it looks good...)

      Thanks.
