True Dominican Sancocho (Meat and Vegetable Stew)
This version of sancocho (Dominican meat and vegetable stew) has been simplified a bit. The original recipe is often made with seven kinds of meat and served on special occasions or holidays. My fiancé is from the Dominican Republic, and his mother has made some amazing food for me — the first time she made sancocho, I fell in love with it. Don't be afraid to use more types of meat than I use in this recipe. This filling stew is great by itself or served over rice in the traditional way. It tastes even better the next day!
