Fritanga Sucrense

🍖
Photo coming soon

The pork is boiled first, then fried, then simmered again in a chili sauce — a three-step process locals insist is what separates real Sucre fritanga from shortcuts elsewhere.

Pork is boiled, fried until golden, then finished in an ají sauce, and served with corn and boiled potato. Weekend market stalls in Sucre sell it as a mid-morning specialty.

Why it's made this way: Fritanga's layered cooking method is closely identified with Sucre's Sunday market culture in Chuquisaca.
