Recipe Summary Puerto Rican Sancocho
This is my mom's Puerto Rican comfort soup. The mix of vegetables and herbs is an influence of the Spanish Canary Island ancestors of some Puerto Rican families. The soup was adjusted to the vegetables available in Puerto Rico by the addition of corn and pumpkin. In the Canary Islands of the 1700s, corn was only fed to farm animals! In Puerto Rico, some cooks now add ginger root, chile pepper, cumin, and other ingredients but I believe it destroys the original rich natural vegetable taste. Similar Spanish sancocho recipes were passed on to other Spanish colonies such as Columbia. Serve hot with bread to soak up the delicious flavor.Ingredients | Sancocho Dominicano Receta3 tablespoons olive oil1 large onion, chopped5 cloves garlic, chopped3 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped¼ teaspoon ground white pepper1 pinch dried oreganosalt to taste1 ½ pounds beef stew meat, cut into small pieceswater to cover½ (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce2 cubes beef bouillon1 cup 1 1/2-inch cut fresh green beans2 carrots, peeled and sliced⅓ cup chopped celery1 large chayote squash - peeled, cored, and sliced lengthwise1 (15.5 ounce) can small white beans, rinsed and drained½ head cabbage, chopped1 green banana, peeled and sliced into 3/4-inch pieces1 yellow plantain, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces5 large llautias (yautias), peeled and quartered6 potatoes, peeled and quartered½ cup chopped peeled pumpkin2 ears fresh corn, sliced into 6 pieces each⅓ cup chopped green bell pepperDirectionsHeat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat; add onion, garlic, cilantro, white pepper, oregano, and salt.
