Sancocho is a popular Caribbean cuisine. It translates to stew or soup. The stew consists of meat, potatoes, and other vegetables (i.e., yuca, plantains, mini corn on the cob, etc. ). Sancocho is great if you want a whole hearty meal. It also makes great comfort food. As most people say soup is good for the soul. I hope this Puerto Rican dish will bring you great comfort as it does for me and mi familia.
Buen Provecho !
