How to Make Sancocho | Puerto Rican Comfort Food 🥣✨

Start by preparing the sofrito with garlic and onion.

Add 2 lbs of beef shank to the pot and cook it first before adding the chicken.

Once the beef has cooked and released its juices, add the whole chicken to the pot.

Do not add water at this stage; let the chicken cook with the beef.

After the chicken is added, cover the pot and let it cook without adding any water.

Next, add chopped onion, carrots, green pepper, and yellow squash to the pot.

Add water to cover all the ingredients and then add chicken broth for flavor.

Season with salt, pepper, and a bit of oregano.

Cover the pot and let it simmer until the vegetables are cooked.
