Sancocho is a meal which is made on special occasions and shared with friends and family. A
thick stew consisting of chicken, pork, yucca, yam, green plantains, and potatoes, it is most
likely the meal you will eat if invited to the home of a friend on New Year’s eve in the Dominican
Republic. Served with a bowl of white rice, and avocado slices, it is believed to be the perfect
cure for hangovers.
