Method
- Cut the meat into pieces about 5 or 6 centimeters.
- Marinate it with the crushed garlic cloves, salt, sour orange or lemon juice, oregano, cumin and pepper. Leave it in the marinade for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- After that time, put the meat to cook with all the marinade ingredients. Add a couple of tablespoons of water so that, as it dries, the meat begins to release its fat.
- When the meat is almost ready, add the onion, green pepper and seedless tomatoes, all well chopped. Cook for about 5 minutes.
CiberCuba - Add the rest of the water and let it boil for about 15 more minutes, or until the meat is tender.
- Add the saffron or bija dissolved in a little water and the clean rice (and washed, if necessary). Stir and lower the heat to medium intensity.
- Cover and cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes in a traditional pot or 10 minutes in a pressure cooker. Enjoy!
