Carne al toro - Recipe from Cádiz

Carne al toro is a traditional recipe from the province of Cádiz.
This dish, as its name suggests, was initially made with bull meat, but today it is made with any type of meat that is cooked in the same way, with vegetables and wine.

The origin of the recipe is relatively recent, in the 70s of the last century (50 years ago), a restaurant in Puerto de Santa María called 'Tendido 4' popularized it, people went to the restaurant to eat this dish and later it began to be cooked in other restaurants and bars of the area.

The recipe was devised by Luisa Aldana, the mother of Fernando Fernández, the owner of the restaurant El Tendido 4. The Fernández family was well known in the city because they were dedicated to the world of greengrocers.
