Sancocho de Siete Carnes

Sancocho de Siete Carnes, or seven-meat stew, is considered one of the Dominican Republic’s national dishes, if not the national dish. Seven different types of meat make up this sancocho, including cuts of chicken, beef, goat and pork, slow cooked until tender in a soup base of root vegetables like sweet potato and cassava, plantain and corn cob, and then seasoned with garlic, cilantro and lime. It’s a satisfying, hearty stew that may become your next favourite.
