Notes[/size]
This is not truly authentic for two reasons:
1) The original dish was made with pork
2) It did not contain potatoes.
Of course, thie recipe is easily modified to remove these anomalies.
I've made this quite a few times, and it's quite popular.
It certainly does not need to be made hot.
