Sancocho

Sancocho is a traditional stew enjoyed in several Latin American and Caribbean countries, particularly the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Puerto Rico. It is a flavorful, hearty dish made by simmering a mix of meats (such as chicken, beef, or pork), root vegetables (like yucca, sweet potatoes, and plantains), corn, and aromatic herbs. The ingredients meld together over time, creating a rich, comforting soup. Sancocho is often prepared for celebrations or family gatherings, symbolizing community and warmth through its communal, nourishing nature.
