Ingredients
In the original Jamaican cuisine, Pommerac Chow is typically prepared with Jamaican scotch bonnet peppers and Jamaican spices, giving it a spicy and fiery kick. However, in this Paraguayan adaptation, the dish is milder in heat and incorporates Paraguayan spices such as paprika and cumin for a more subtle and aromatic flavor profile. Additionally, the Paraguayan version highlights the use of local vegetables and the unique Pommerac fruit, which adds a distinct tangy sweetness to the dish.
