Pork fricassee

Cooking, Main dish

Preparation Time:

Note:
El Fricasé de cerdo es una receta muy usual en Cuba. Una de las cosas que más disfrutan los comensales de este plato es su salsa. En Muchas ocasiones lleva papas y salsa de tomate. Pero no es obligatorio. Lo que sí es importante, es que no sea un plato demasiado seco, pues una característica es que se acompaña de arroz blanco para mojarlo con la salsa del fricasé. Esperamos que lo disfruten.
