Cazuela For Dinner
A dear friend had surgery this week and another friend just had a bone marrow transplant and I was wondering what I could make them to eat that would be easy to digest, yet comforting. My friend Vivianne is from Chile, and many times she has made a Chilean dish for us called Cazuela. It is delicious and comforting and I thought this is the perfect dish to make for both of them.
Cazuela is like a hearty soup filled with chicken, squash, chicken broth, potatoes and corn. Since I have an allergy to corn I make this dish without the corn.
If you have a slow cooker this a simple meal to make for your family, friends or loved ones who are healing and need some comfort food.
From my house to yours, comfort food, Cazuela for dinner.
