3 pieces Salt Pork, 1/2 inch cubes

1 tbsp Sofrito

1 tbsp Tomato Paste

3 cups Water

1/2 tsp Adobo Seasoning, or to taste

1 packet Sazon with Achiote

2/3 cup Corn Meal

In a medium pot render out the fat from the salt pork or low heat. Then raise to medium heat, add the sofrito and tomato paste and stir together. Add 2 1/2 cups of the water to the pot along with the adobo, sazon, and bacalao.

The remaining 1/2 cup of water stir in with the corn meal. Once the pot comes to a boil add the water and corn meal. Stir until everything starts to thicken. Cover, lower heat, and let cook for another 15-20 minutes.

OMG! I was so excited when I came across this recipe because I had been longing to eat what my grandmother referred to as "Harina con bacalao", a traditional Puerto Rican porridge. My grandmother passed away some time ago and no one knew her recipes. But now thanks to Erwins recipe and a few tweaks I think I have perfected it. This truly is a wonderful, filling and warming dish. It is especially good on those long cold days. Try it instead of some soup and enjoy the difference.

I used to eat this as a kid and never really liked it. I don't know if my taste buds have acclimated or this recipe just is that good but I loved it... I'll definitely make it again.
