1kgchicken pieces
2 / 2yuca and corn
to tasteculantro and onion
Instructions
1
Simmer the chicken with onion until it is nearly falling off the bone, about thirty minutes.
2
Skim any foam that rises to keep the broth clear.
3
Add the yuca and corn and continue simmering until both are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
4
Stir in fresh culantro right at the end, its herbal bite is what gives sancocho its signature flavour, and it fades fast if added too early. Serve hot with rice.
