Recipe for Sancocho Dominicano (Vegetables and Meat Stew)

Without a doubt, sancocho is one of Dominican’s favorite dish; Accompanied by a very cold beer, it’s the perfect dish to celebrate any occasion.

Nada como un buen Sancocho Dominicano!

It hasn’t been cold here in Jersey; however, it has been raining a lot. As I write this post, I can hear the rain outside. And guess what? It supposes to rain for the next few days! So I’m in the mood for some sancocho.

Sancocho is a vegetables and meat soup that requires time to prepare and patience. However, the result is well worth it; Dominicans prepare it mostly for special occasions, but I have concluded that any day is a special occasion. 🙂

This traditional stew goes well with white rice, avocado, a hint of lime juice or hot sauce!
