Sancocho

Sancocho is a traditional dish in many Latin American and Caribbean countries, but in Colombia it is considered one of the most emblematic dishes of national gastronomy. This stew is a kind of thick soup made with different types of meats, vegetables, and root vegetables, and is known for being a comforting and flavorful dish.

Colombian sancocho varies by region, but is generally prepared with beef, chicken, or fish. Some of the most common vegetables used are cassava, plantain, corn, potato, and onion. In addition, herbs such as coriander, garlic and cumin can be added to give it more flavor.

The preparation of the sancocho is a process that takes time, since the meats must be cooked for several hours so that they are soft and mix well with the flavors of the vegetables. Once the meats are cooked, the vegetables are added and they are left to cook for a longer time until they are tender.

The sancocho is served hot and is usually accompanied with white rice, bananas and avocado. It can also be enjoyed with an arepa, a corn flatbread that is made on the grill and is very popular in Colombia.

This dish is more than just a meal, it is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in many Colombian families. It is a dish that brings people together and is perfect for sharing on special occasions such as birthdays, weddings or family gatherings.

In short, the Colombian sancocho is a delicious and comforting dish that is part of the rich culinary tradition of Colombia. It takes time and patience to prepare, but the end result is a meal worth waiting for and sharing with loved ones.
