What is Sanccho?
Sancrocho is food popular in many regions of South America and the Caribbean. The term can be freely translated as "steamed meat" in which various ingredients can be inserted into the bowl depending on their availability or the preference of the chef. Food can use various meat such as chicken, beef or even fish, and then add vegetables that complement the taste of the meat. The popularity of Sanccho has led to many varieties in which the country is cooked. Canaries brought food with them when the Spanish colony transferred them to Puerto Rico as slaves. The story is that the channel women would leave a large pot of steamed meat until their men return from work and leave a hot and filling food where they return home. Soon after, farmers and other workers took the idea and cooked Stew themselves.
the original Sanccho in the Canary Islands used fish as primary meat because the Earth was surrounded by water and probably had rYby as one of its basic foods. Puerto Rico on the other side also uses chicken and beef in addition to fish, probably because of meat availability. Ecuadorians usually make food with pork, while Salvadorans would cook their with the gut of a cow. Many countries such as Colombia and the Dominican Republic tend to use any meat available. The Dominican Republic even has "Santocho de Siete Carnes" with seven different masses such as goat, ham and longaniza included in a bowl.
In addition to meat, other Sanccho ingredients are usually included, which are usually included in starch vegetables. Potatoes, Kasava and Malanga are the usual elections. Garbanzos or Chick Peas are sometimes added for multiple textures. Other fruits and vegetables inserted in the bowl can range from plantain and carrots to celery and pumpkin. Various spices are also used to flavor a bowl such as ginger, garlic, oregano and chili sauce.
Sancchocho as a bowl can be consumed by SO aloneRun, because it is already a complete meal, but can also be eaten with starch foods such as rice and bread. Other similar meals that share the element of a series of SanCcho raw materials are the Hungarian Gulash and the Chinese chop Suey. These meals are often used as metaphors for the diversity of the nation in race and culture.
