INSTRUCTIONS

Soak the carne seca (“dry meat”) in warm water for one hour to re-hydrate. After the hour has passed, replace the water with equally warm water; allow to soak another hour, and replace the water for a third time. The meat will release salt in the water. After the 3 soaks, dry the meat with a linen cloth. Shred meat in pieces and bake in the oven at 350 degrees, leaving it there until golden brown and dry again. Crush in a molcajete or in a metate, so that the small pieces are well crushed. (If you do not have a molcajete, you can use a food processor but make sure to not over pulverize).

Heat oil in a saucepan. Fry the meat and with the finely chopped onion and garlic. Once sauteed, add chopped cilantro and tomato. When everything is well fried, add the cubed potatoes, broth, salt and pepper. Let it boil over low heat until the potatoes are cooked, adding more broth, if necessary. Serve very hot.
