ASOPAO DE POLLO (PUERTO RICAN CHICKEN AND RICE STEW)
Steps:
- For the sofrito: Roughly chop the garlic, onion, ham, bell pepper and sweat them in 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the tomato paste, achiote paste or sazon goya, oregano, salt, pepper, and vinegar cook for about 5 more minutes. Once cooked, puree it in the blender or food processor. Make the stock and cook the chicken: Cook the chicken in 9 cups of water, and the rest of the stock ingredients except the taro roots or potatoes and chopped carrot. Cook for 30 minutes. Be careful not to boil or the chicken will get stringy. Once its cooked, take out the onions and the garlic. At this time you can shred the chicken. Make the asopao: Return the chicken to the stock and add the taro root or potatoes cut in 1/2 inch pieces, the carrots, capers, olives, sofrito, and the rice (which has been previously soaking in water for 30 minutes.) Cook the asopao for about 25-30 minutes. Serve with garnishes.

[email protected]This Asopao de Pollo was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the rice was a bit mushy. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of rice.
