So, perhaps I missed this on your menu, but are you actually doing
an ola podrida?
If not, have you or anyone else here, made one of these using a period
recipe? They look exceedingly time consuming but you might not need
to prepare any other dish to go with one.
For those who don't know about these or missed our earlier discussions,
these seem to be single pot dishes that include a huge variety of items. For
more details:
