Puerto Rican Sancocho
Sancocho is Puerto Rican comfort food! This is my mom's recipe that she serves with bread to soak up the delicious flavor. The mix of vegetables and herbs in this stew was influenced by Spanish Canary Island ancestors of some Puerto Rican families, then adjusted to the vegetables available in Puerto Rico, such as corn, pumpkin, and plantains.
