Ensopado-Uraguayo

Ensopado Uruguayo

Keesha
Ensopado Uruguayo is Uruguay's comfort food. It is a warm, rich, and hearty stew filled with beef, pasta, and vegetables. Today, I decided to give it a bit of a twist by using Asian noodles instead of the traditional pasta. I hope you enjoy it!

Notes

Truly Ensopado Uruguayo is a dish that satisfies everyone who tastes it. However, Uruguayans accompany it with crackers and a drink to cope with the cold during the winter season.
