Well, @mdjhfc , in our tradition the pork is probably on the top. In December, specially, for Christmas, we are making at home many pork meats dishes.

The following one is made by me a few days ago: meat, carrots, cherry tomatoes, onions, peppers, a bit garlic and parsley, salt and black pepper.

Served with mashed potatoes and pickles.

Thank you for asking!
