Note:
Pork Fricassee is a very common recipe in Cuba. One of the things that diners enjoy most about this dish is its sauce. Often, it includes potatoes and tomato sauce, but it's not mandatory. What is important is that it shouldn't be too dry, as a characteristic of the dish is that it is served with white rice to soak up the fricassee's sauce. We hope you enjoy it.

Add the pork and mix to integrate all the ingredients. The meat will change color as it cooks. At that moment, add the olives, the diced tomato, the wine, and the bay leaf.

Cover the pot and let it cook over medium heat until the meat is tender and the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If it dries out too much, you can add a little water or wine.
