Welcome to Mari's Cooking! In this video, I'll be sharing a Puerto Rican Sancocho recipe, a hearty and flavorful Latin American stew that's perfect for bringing family and friends together.
Sancocho is a cherished dish in many Latin American countries, known for its rich flavors and heartwarming qualities. What makes Sancocho so special is the variety of meats, root vegetables, and the blend of seasonings. I'll provide you with tips for perfecting the flavors and achieving the ideal consistency.

INGREDIENTS:
* 1.5lbs - 2lbs chuck beef
* 1/2lb cooked ham
* Olive oil for cooking
* 1 tsp Adobo
* 1/2 tsp onion powder
* 2 heaping tablespoons Sofrito
* 6oz tomato sauce (I mistakenly said a little over a can lol)
* 2 bay leaves
* 1 - 1.5 packets Sazón
* 1 beef bullion
* 3-5 garlic cloves
* 1/2 bell pepper
* 1-2 chopped carrots
* 1 yuca root
* 1 Ñame root (taro or Carribean yam root)
* 2-3 small potatoes
* 2 green plantains or green bananas
* 1 cup of either butternut squash, pumpkin, or acorn squash
* 2 ears of corn, cut into thirds
* Cilantro for garnish (optional)
* OPTIONAL (not shown) - 1 yautia/malanga root
Note: While the foundation of Puerto Rican Sancocho should never change (sofrito, tomato sauce, seasonings, etc), you may swap for whatever root vegetables are accessible to you! Yuca root and pumpkin (calabaza) should be the easiest to find besides potatoes and carrots, so add those!
