Ahhhh sancocho! One tip: if you have the time you can grate part of the plátanos and make little balls with your hands and place them inside the sancocho, glorious 😍. Never forget to side your sancocho with a bit of white rice and avocado, and a drop or two of a spicy sauce like Tabasco or Siracha. And of course a Presidente beer "vestida de novia". Great recipe and kudos from Dominican Republic.

You can also thicken the sancocho by using grated or mashed platanos like people do with roux. My mom almost always throws a few slices of bacon or scoops of bacon fat too.

All of these good tips.

I was in the military, got stationed in southern California. At times it seemed I was the only Dominican for hundreds of miles 😂. Anyways, I craved my mom's cooking all the time, the closest Dominican restaurant was in LA, two hours away. I started to watch youtube, and interrogating my mom on how to cook 😅. Made moro, chivo guisado, tostones, and of course sancocho, and pernil. Love channels like yours!

This is HANDS DOWN the best channel on youtube!

WARNING ⚠️. Chef Zee’s recipes are highly addictive. You may end up with drowsiness and a love of Dominican food. 😆 I’ve now been to the Dominican Republic 3 times this year. The people are awesome and love their culture and traditions. Thank you for such wonderful recipes. You have the best show on KZread!

No lies detected!!! I made pernil for Christmas and my family SWORE my Dominican wife made it!!! We are Creole so some Dominican stuff is in our culture but different spices. But.. I get teary eyes when my wife wakes up and says it smells like her grandmas house when I cook. Best compliment yet!

For any human being out there who has not experienced Sancocho (Dominican Style) you are truly missing out on a massive culinary experience. It simply is a serious comfort food all round year!….

It’s that time of year where it’s cold on the east coast & bringing out the largest pot for your sancocho recipe!!! 👏🏼

I’m Italian making this for my Dominican esposo ❤️ so excited!!

YESSS DOMINICANS ARE RISING!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm Dominican by the way)

It’s amazing how many foods are universal... I’m West African and this is a variation of what some countries call ‘yehbeh’... The only difference is some of the seasonings and the pork... But we literally add EVERY meat we can find, (yellow) plantain, and all the same starches... And we use that same BIG pot (the older, the better lol)... And it tastes AMAZING!!! Best food for a cold!

I took some to my moms house and everyone was amazed and couldn’t believe I really made it myself. Needless to say, it was BOMB. Im making it again today, so just wanted to let you know this will forever be my go to receta for sancocho 😊

Coming back to redo!! Mi gente if you haven’t made this sancocho run! I was nervous to make this (my family is no longer here so I don’t have anyone that cooks real “Dominican”’food) so chef Zee is my familia! I made a huge pot but didn’t invite anyone over for fear it wouldn’t be good. But OMG it was amazing! Because I did this during Covid & didn’t think it was safe to have people inside, I called everyone & they were outside with their tubberware. They keep asking for me to make more 👍🏼

I love the way you explain every step! Thank you 😊 I am Dominican myself, but I’ve grown up here in the States, so I just haven’t seen anyone cook it before and I wanted to make for my husband. Thanks again!

I made a freestyle sancocho the other day with just oxtail, it was delicious. My supermarket have terrible pumpkins out so I used butternut squash. And my sister brought home yellow plantain instead of green. But it had corn, cassava, eddoe, yams, thyme, wiri pepper(Guyanese hot pepper) and most of the other stuff you used. My West Indian family makes soup almost the same way.

ChefZee, you are amazing and so sweet! My knowledge of Dominican cooking I've learned from my late mother ,step mom, and amazing aunts, and last certainly not least my sister in law (which is a God send to our family🤗). And watching your channel has re-reinforced all that knowledge! And learn a few new ones! Thank you so much for sharing! God bless!

In El Salvador we make "sopa de res," and my in-laws called it sancocho. My husband, who is an amazing cook, made sancocho and it's really something else! Truly delicious 😋 my family loved it too!

It’s sancocho season in NYC!!!! And I’m back to make your delicious recipe yet again!!!!! ❤❤❤
