Tamarillo is a small, tangy fruit known as the tree tomato in English, although it isn't a tomato at all.

By American standards, this traditional Bolivian stew can be considered a challenge to our sensibilities, but in many countries, nothing of the animal is wasted. This head stew is bursting with flavor, easy to make, and comes in many variations. You can make this recipe with any type of meat including chicken, duck, turkey, tatú (armadillo), rabbit, alligator, fish, etc. But for truly authentic Patasca, see below.Ingredients: 1 whole pig, sheep, or cow's head1 kilo (2 pounds) of mote (canned…See More
