Carne Seca

Cultural Context

Originating in the rural regions of Venezuela, Carne Seca is a traditional method of preserving meat by drying it, allowing for long-term storage. This dish is often associated with hearty meals and is a staple in Venezuelan cuisine, frequently used in arepas, stews, or served with rice. Today, Carne Seca has gained popularity beyond Venezuela, inspiring variations across Latin America and even in fusion cuisines.

Mix the pork ingredients well and refrigerate overnight as well.

After marinating, place the chicken on a rack to dry.
