Venezuela, slowly and soft

 

Hola,

For this South American country I decided to cook pabellon criollo which is basically slow cooked beef with beans and rice. The beef was cooked for two hours with carrot, celery, onions and a bay leaf. Red peppers, garlic, tomatoes were added along with salt and pepper for seasoning.

The black beans were boiled with a ham hock, onion, garlic and a bay leaf seasoned with salt and pepper. The ham tasted amazing in my opinion.

Overall, the beef part was a little bit too watery and a touch bland but very tender and soft from the slow cooking. The ham and beans were very tasty, the ham was lovely and tender having cooked for a long time on low heat.

Adios
