Estofado is a hearty and flavorful stew popular in Spanish and Latin American cuisines, with variations found across regions. Traditionally, it combines tender chunks of meat, such as beef, pork, or chicken, slow-cooked with aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and potatoes. Often enriched with garlic, tomatoes, and a splash of wine, Estofado is seasoned with herbs such as bay leaves and paprika, creating a savory and comforting dish. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of protein from the meat and essential vitamins and fiber from the vegetables. However, the inclusion of fatty cuts, added oils, and sodium-rich broth can impact its health value, depending on preparation. Opting for leaner meats, reducing added salt, and increasing vegetable content can make it a more balanced meal. Estofado is celebrated for its warmth and satisfying depth, making it a staple comfort food in its cultural heritage.
