Ingredientes

  • 300g pancetta
  • 2 onions
  • 10g Mama Tere cinnamon sticks
  • 30g chocolate
  • 1 pack Mama Tere cassava
  • 1 cup ground toasted peanuts
  • 2 tbsp Mama Tere garlic paste

  • Ground cumin, to taste
  • Mama Tere jazmince rice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup pork fat or oil

Preparación

  1. One day before, soak the Mama Tere dried yellow potatoes overnight to make them easier to cook. Once soaked, boil them in water for 20 minutes.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and Mama Tere oregano.
  3. In a pot with hot oil, sear the pancetta until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Once done, set aside on a separate plate.
  4. In the same pot, add the onions, Mama Tere garlic paste, and Mama Tere panca hot pepper paste. Mix well until the pork fat is well cooked with the sautéed ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and oregano.
  5. Add the pancetta and 4 cups of water to the pot and cook until the bacon is tender and juicy.
  6. Add the cooked potatoes to the pot along with some of the water, ground peanuts, liquefied lard biscuits dissolved in water, Mama Tere cinnamon, and chocolate.
  7. Stir well and reduce heat to simmer until the potatoes are fully cooked.
  8. Serve with Mama Tere Jazmin rice and cooked Mama Tere Cassava.
