I'm glad to find this blog for Puerto Rican dish. I'm a Korean mom and my son has some Puerto Rican friends here in South Korea. Actually, They are U.S soldiers. I want to make this stew for them but some starch ingredients are not available here. Is it O.K. to make it only with potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins? Do you think they will like it? Hello!

Actually, They are U.S soldiers.
I want to make this stew for them but some starch ingredients are not available here.
Is it O.K. to make it only with potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins?

Do you think they will like it?

Before we had any Dominicans move to our Island, we had Sancocho in Puerto Rico...every country has its own recipe for this dish, so it is proper to call it Puerto Rican Beef Stew, because if reflects our version of sancocho. Dominicans have many different types, but that does not make this dish theirs to own up to, I guess the Canary Islands can claim to have the original sancocho...

Whenever I travel to PR before la playa and El Yunque is the market. The vegetables, the atmosphere are all wonderful for a country boy like me. I'm using short ribs, some cilantro from my greenhouse, yucca and plantains from the store. Ay que rico! gracias. jim Making sancocho today for my lovely Puerto Rican wife of 30 years.

I think it really depends on which region of puerto rico you're also from. In our case, my uncle Demo has a farm and raised a lot of chickens there, so there was always plenty of chicken around to be had, whereas, killing a cow every time we wanted sancocho just wasn't as feasible (where would we get our milk, right? haha). Anyway it makes me happy to see that this recipe was featured in tastespotting, because it's always nice to see a piece of home recognized by more cultures. Living in Canada, I've encountered people who don't even know that Puerto Rico exists, or that it's even as close as it is. Thanks Meseidy!

I just made it and it made me remember my grandma's. My girlfriend was impressed, hehe... And the hardest part? Looking for the ingredients at the local supermarket, specially identifying the "viandas". I even threw some ~ame at it. Thanks for memories. thememories memor Wow! Incredible recipe!!!
