Mari's Puerto Rican Sancocho | Mari’s Cooking

[@running179]

I'm Jamaican, & it's amazing to me how much this recipe is like *our* chicken soup, which is basically a sancocho! (Or our beef soup.) I first had sancocho in Bogota, Colombia, & theirs is a little different than the PR one, but not much. The Caribbean cooking thing is so related, from Jamaica to PR to the Dom Rep. Love it.

[@mariscookingpr]

I agree!!

[@Eman86488]

I had fish escovech and salt fish with akee and I gotta say it almost felt as if I was in a family member house they were so similar

[@wraynephew6838]

It is similar but the main difference is the tomato sauce. Jamaicans really don't use too much in any of our dishes.

[@216Love]

Having my grandfather over he's Puerto Rican I appreciate you're content it's very good! 🇵🇷❤️

[@mariscookingpr]

Thank you so much!!

[@marioneaddie5590]

My mom’s mom is from San Juan PR. She made her SanCocho with the bone of the turkey and added corn a in the cob as well. So good! Lord I miss it!

[@Cclj135]

This was one of the best sancocho recipes I’ve tried in a loooong time. Slight modifications made: - I seasoned the meat the morning of. - Used flat short ribs. - Made plantain balls instead of cutting it up. That was my least favorite part but I appreciated the texture it added to the stew. - Used annatto oil when cooking the ham. - omitted sazon and carrots. Thank you for sharing the recipe. 2 hours was worth the wait. Tip: searing/roasting meat your meat/bones for soups or stews make a huge difference.

[@mariscookingpr]

@@Cclj135 Yay!! Also, I appreciate the fact that you enjoyed the recipe and tweaked it to your liking! Great job! 🙏🏽

Mari, I’ve been watching all your cooking videos on my tv with hubby so I can’t comment but we were like “Esta sabe cocinar boricua style” 🤭🤭…He woke up this morning talking about, “what did Mari cook today? 🤣🤣. I was able to get away from work, life and watch this video on my phone which I can comment now lol. But YUMMMM!!! This is to die for 😊…I want some now 😢…Keep up the awesomeness 🙏🏼❤️

[@mariscookingpr]

Omg, not me in your living room in 4K!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you and your hubby for your support! ❤️

[@jasminerivera7386]

Delish, thank you. My mom used to make this with beef and pork bones. I will try your method, my mouth watered each time you stirred the pot, lol

[@mariscookingpr]

Was it with pig feet bones? I remember my friend’s mom would add that to every kind of stew! Very country and nostalgic 🥹 Enjoy!

[@starwberriez]

im puerto rican from my mom but she never taught me how to cook or even taught me how to speak spanish so now as an adult i have to try to learn everything by myself😭

[@mariscookingpr]

You can do it!! ❤️

[@JudyMorales-lm3rv]

I want to make sopa de sachichon for my sick friend.

[@Arbitorriku2]

You are seen, you are heard. I’m on the same boat. Your ancestry is your birthright, learn at your own pace and time. And also Spanish is the language of our colonizers as well. Don’t shame yourself for not learning as a child. But as an adult it’s up to you.

[@daiseycollazo4927]

That’s a new way for me to make it. Searing the meat first. Thank you for sharing💜

[@LightSkinSlim83]

Very easy to follow along and not a terribly long video. I'll use this as a guide when I try to cook sancocho for the first time this evening. I'm curious what my wife, who is Dominican, will think of our Puerto Rican version. Very similar but I do notice some key differences like their use of celery and a lot more mashed platanos to thicken it. Anyhow, I have a bias being Puerto Rican but I think ours is better, taste and presentation.Thank you!

[@mariscookingpr]

I love that!! I agree. Our food is very similar, and yes, we are very biased about ours 🤣. Suerte!

[@Dani-mw5gk]

Give us an update!

Oh my goodness!!! I’m definitely going to try this!!! Thank you so much for sharing this yummy delicious recipe! I do have a question, unfortunately, I don’t have access to some of the root veggies, is it ok to use the ones I can get, like potatoes, carrots, corn, green bananas or does that change the PR recipe? ❤😊

[@mariscookingpr]

I’m glad you enjoyed watching the recipe! 🥰 And of course! I honestly think the options you have are perfect for a great Sancocho! Make sure you add some squash or pumpkin in there too and you’re good to go! 🙏🏽

Awww I love that! 🥹❤️

[@debneg23]

I just started to get into using an instant pot and I think if I make the meats in a broth in the IP, the beef will tenderize quicker. Then I would add the rest and cook it on the sauté setting.

[@mariscookingpr]

That sounds like a great method! Keep me updated.

[@irismoody7244]

I liked this video a lot , the only thing I would do differently is hold the potatoes and the pumpkin for last because they cook so fast and the others don’t.

[@mariscookingpr]

Yes! Very true.

hi is sancocho still sanchocho if you use pork instead of beef?

That’s a good question! Personally, I don’t see anything “wrong” with replacing the beef with pork. ☺️

Listen there was a airó your beef, I replayed this video and the hair is where u added adobo and start mixing!

[@mariscookingpr]

So, that’s actually the “sinew” - connective tissue that is attached to the beef. It’s stringy, silver and almost hair-like. As unsightly as it is, it’s normal! For further reassurance, everyone in my home has black hair 😂
