I'm not a fan of sancocho, but this recipe was surprisingly good. I might even make it again.

This sancocho was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This sancocho recipe was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the meat was tender. I especially loved the addition of the plantains and corn on the cob. Will definitely be making this again.
