The roast needed more salt to satisfy our taste. We used two cinnamon sticks also. The apricots could have cooked a bit longer too as it was odd to have tender beef, soft poatoes, and the chewy fruit. All of that aside, we like the combination of flavors and the aroma.

Even though the recipe seems flavourful and visually appealling , it is not Colombian at all. I am Colombian, familiar with foods and dishes from all regions of the country, and in spite of the amazing diversity and variety of ingredients and recipes, there is not a dish like this. Ingredients such as apricots are just not Colombian.The ingredients and spices used in this recipe suggest more a Middle Eastern or North African origin.
