My grandmother was an exceptional cook. The dishes prepared in her kitchen were absolutely delicious and are what connects me to my roots. This is very important to me, especially now that I am living outside of Colombia and raising my children in the USA.
I grew up very close to my mother's side of the family. We would spend every Sunday together and Mamita always cooked amazing traditional Colombian meals for the whole family, like this Sudado de Costilla de Cerdo. She served it with white rice, avocado and tomato-cabbage salad on the side. This dish is what I call comfort food!
Buen provecho!

WOW! This looks DELICIOUS! I've had sudado de pollo (chicken), res (beef), pescado (fish) but never costilla de cerdo. It looks mouthwatering!
