Sancocho

Puerto Rico - sancocho is considered a fairly rustic dish. It is made with chicken (Sancocho de gallina), top round beef (Sancocho), pork feet and pork meat with chick peas (Sancocho de patitas), or beef short ribs with chorizo, chicken and smoked ham. There are several versions and every house hold has their own take on sancocho but a true Puerto Rican sancocho always calls for tubers and sofrito. The soup is usually seasoned with beef stock, cumin, and pepper. Other vegetables and flavoring can include celery, carrots, ginger, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, oregano, burgundy wine, rum, and annatto. Ripe and unripened plantains, green bananas, yellow and white corn, potatoes, ñame, malanga, and yuca are also added.
