Spicy Sancocho
Vegetarian Times Issue: January 1, 1998 p.39
Sancocho, a hearty Caribbean stew, offers a taste of island "comfort food." Serve this meatless version with Jamaican Cook-Up Rice (recipe this page) or any other rice dish. Look for plantains in large supermarkets or Latin or Hispanic food shops.
Directions
- In large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and jalapeños and cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in vegetable stock, stewed tomatoes, carrots, plantain, potato and seasonings and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until potato and carrots are tender, about 25 minutes. Serve hot.
