Carne Con Papas
Cuba
Directly inspired by Spanish picadillo, this delicious beef stew with potatoes is the Cuban version. While the original picadillo uses ground meat, carne con papas contains chunks of beef. The sauce of carne con papas is also different from that of picadillo because it incorporates ingredients such as peppers and capers, in addition to the traditional base called sofrito. Sofrito, also called refogado or estrugido in Spain is a preparation made with garlic, tomatoes, onions, peppers and olive oil, which serves as the basis for many stews originally from Spain, Portugal, and Latin America.
