carne con papas
(1 RATING)
Carne con Papas (Cuban Beef with Potatoes) is a traditional Cuban recipe. Most families have their own favorite recipe which can vary in which spices and herbs individuals cooks prefer to use. But the basic recipe features cooked beef and tender potatoes in a tasty broth that's bursting with flavor. It can be served by itself as a stew, or if you prefer you can serve it over cooked white rice for a fuller, more rounded meal. Be sure to serve it with some fresh baked Cuban Bread or fresh Cuban Medianoche Bread rolls to soak up the pan sauce.
