It does indeed, I’ve never tried it but my parents have had it a couple of times when they lived in Florida.

Thank you very much indeed. There was one ingredient that I could not get in the UK but I managed to buy the sazon seasoning from amazon.co.uk at a very reasonable price. I really enjoy Spanish cooking and I’m looking forward to making this.

My husband made this last night. Very tasty indeed and different from usual stews. This dish is a deep orange/red colour so be sure to cover up to prevent splashes on any “good” clothes. I think many different vegetables could be put in the dish if you don’t have the exact ingredients. Thanks once again.

I’ve made this before in the slow cooker. Not sure if it came out like it was supposed to but it was tasty.

My sister made this last week and tasted just like my mom’s. She passed in March and we were never able to get the “recipe” before she got too sick, so thank you! My mom was from Guatemala and this was one of her best dishes.

Mmm. This sounds like something I could make ahead on nights when I need to serve dinner in a small time window. 🙂

In the ingredients, you list cumin but in the directions you list oregano. Also in the directions you list celery but it’s not in the list of ingredients. Please clarify.

I’m not real sure, I lost that recipe some time ago. Google the dish and I’m sure it should come up.

Sounds great. I could see doing it in a crock pot too, kind of like a stew. 🙂
