Also add the bay leaves, whole peppers, black pepper and cumin and mix everything well. Book to get the taste.

The next step in northeastern sarapatel is to place a large pan over medium heat and fry the bacon or bacon in the fat. When enough fat is released, add 1 finely chopped onion and saute together until lightly browned.
