🇦🇷 Argentina recipe

Carbonada

Carbonada is a unique Argentine stew that marries sweet and savory in a way few dishes can. Chunks of beef simmer alongside corn, potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, and dried peaches in a fragrant broth scented with oregano and paprika. In its most dramatic presentation, the entire stew is served inside a hollowed-out baked pumpkin, making it a showstopper at the table.
