COLOMBIAN CHICKEN STEW: SANCOCHO
Quote: "It shouts out loud: I really care for you!" I lived in Colombia, South America, and Sancocho is the ultimate in comfort food there! And like in Italian homes, each family has their own version of lasagna; this is my personalized version of the soup. It is believed that it is so powerful that it can bring the dead back to life. That is why it is served after every party and makes the perfect Sunday meal!

COLOMBIAN SANCOCHO
This is another favorite in my household. I have addapted this recipe for the slow cooker, I like to leave it cooking while we go to church on Sundays. But it works just as well on the stove top and even better over a fire pit, with shorter cooking times. And if you ever have a killer hang over, this soup will fix you right up! That is why it is traditionally eaten the day after a big party. This soup can easily be made with any combination of the proteins and is also made with seafood. I have not prepared with seafood yet, but would imagine that you have to let the veggetables cook by themselves for a while before adding in the fish as it is more delicate.

SANCOCHO
Sancocho saved me. I was six years old when I first came to the mainland. I didn't speak a lick of English and I missed Puerto Rico terribly. I didn't understand what winter was or why the cold never seemed to go away. My mother would make this hearty stew and it would take me right back to my Abuela's house in San Juan. Every family has their version of sancocho, some making it with chicken and tripe, others with pork or goat. This one is FROM my Abuela Alicia, WHO LOVED making her sancocho with oxtail. I love making it with oxtail too, but feel free to use chuck or bone-in short ribs. The preparation is relatively simple, but the cooking time is a little over three hours. So be patient and enjoy the way it perfumes your entire household. Trust me; the wait is worth it.

Steps:
- To make the recaito, process the onion, bell pepper, frying pepper, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a blender until it resembles a very chunky sauce. Add the cilantro and blend until the sauce is combined and has a slightly chunky consistency, about 30 seconds. Set aside 1/2 cup of the recaito you've just made and freeze the rest for future preparations.
- Add the remaining olive oil to a very large, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Dry the oxtails and add salt and pepper. Brown the oxtails in batches, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate or platter.
- Remove excess fat from the pot you browned the oxtails in, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot. Add the reserved 1/2 cup recaito and saute until fragrant. Add the adobo, oregano and bay leaves, then stir in the tomato sauce and saute for 1 minute. Add the red wine and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Taste the broth and add salt and pepper to taste, remembering that as the broth reduces it will become saltier; don't go overboard. Add the oxtails back to the pot. Lower the heat and cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly cracked. Simmer until the meat is beginning to become tender and fall apart, about 2 hours.
- Skim the fat off the top of the stew. Add the potatoes, yucca, plantains, pumpkin and corn. Top with more chicken stock, if necessary, to cover all the vegetables. Put the lid back on and simmer until the root vegetables are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Taste the broth, season with salt and pepper and garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with a side of rice if desired.
STEW - COLOMBIA - SANCOCHO ANTIOQUEñO
Sancocho is the staple food of my home state of Antioquia in Colombia. As with everything in this world, there are many varieties of sancocho not only within Colombia, but also throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. This recipe is my favorite because it utilizes four different types of meat whose flavors mix in an incredible taste sensation. Sancocho must be prepared in stages due to the cooking time differential of the various ingredients so give yourself three or four hours and be patient. The results are definitely worth the wait. By the way, I have not found a way of making just a small amount of sancocho so be prepared for lots of yummy leftovers unless, like my grandma did, you invite the entire family over for Sunday lunch.

Steps:
- 1) Pour water into a large pot and add all the meat (beef, pork, chicken and chorizo), the oil, the green onions, cumin, cilantro, parsley (if using), salt and pepper and the Goya seasoning. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium-low stir thoroughly, and cook, covered, for 45 minutes.
- 2) Add the corn and plantain. Bring to a boil, cover and lower to medium-low heat. Cook for another 30 minutes.
- 3) Add the potatoes and the shredded carrots. Bring to a boil, check the flavor and correct seasonings, cover and cook for another 30 minutes over medium-low heat.
- 4) Finally, add the yuca and bring to a boil once more. Cover and cook for 15 or 20 minutes more or until the yuca is tender.
- 5) Remove the cilantro green onions and parsley, if you are using it, serve. (Good hint: Digging for the cilantro, green onions and parsley can be a pain. So, I use a small mesh bag, place the green onions and cilantro inside it, tie it and drop it into the water. That way, all I need to do is remove the little bag instead of having to dig.).

- Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the onions and garlic and cook until they're soft and transparent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, and thyme and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Add the chicken and the beef ribs and cook until the tomatoes have disintegrated, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and skimming the foam from the top of the broth when necessary. Add the green plantains, cilantro, and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the plantains are tender, 30 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside. Add the potatoes, pumpkin, ripe plantains, yucca and corn and simmer, uncovered, until both are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the cilantro and the bay leaves and return the chicken to the pot to re-heat it. To serve, arrange a piece of chicken, some beef, plantains, and a few pieces of yucca and potatoes on each plate. Serve the broth in a small bowl, and the aji sauce on the side, along with a bowl of rice, corn, some avocados and arepas or tortillas on separate plates.
