I have always loved sweet and salty stew, even a bit sour. That's where the inspiration for this “Estofado de Dos Mundos” (Two-Worlds Stew), a very simple recipe that combines two white meats: chicken and pork, with a few very popular Latin American roots such as yucca, potatoes and carrots, with more dry fruits like prunes, apricots and yellow raisins, comes from. The cinnamon and nutmeg touch make this stew unique. Prepare it and prepare for your family to ask for more!
