Olla de Carne
Olla de carne is a beloved Costa Rican Sunday tradition, the long simmer filling homes with its aroma as families gather together.
A hearty Costa Rican beef and vegetable stew, simmered low and slow with corn, yuca, plantain and squash until everything is tender — a traditional Sunday family meal.
Ingredients
Method
Simmer beef in water with onion and garlic for 1 hour until beginning to tenderise.
Add corn and yuca, simmering a further 30 minutes.
Add chayote, squash and plantain, simmering a final 20-30 minutes until everything is tender.
Season well and serve in bowls with rice on the side.
Add the vegetables in stages according to how long each takes to cook, so nothing turns to mush.
