COLOMBIAN CHICKEN STEW: SANCOCHO
Quote: "It shouts out loud: I really care for you!" I lived in Colombia, South America, and Sancocho is the ultimate in comfort food there! And like in Italian homes, each family has their own version of lasagna; this is my personalized version of the soup. It is believed that it is so powerful that it can bring the dead back to life. That is why it is served after every party and makes the perfect Sunday meal!

AJIACO (COLOMBIAN CHICKEN, POTATO AND CORN SOUP)
This Colombian soup is served in restaurants throughout Bogota and is generally considered comfort food. It can contain as many as three different kinds of potatoes, but we streamlined this recipe to use two (Yukon gold and purple, though you can substitute red bliss for the purple). The garnishes add brightness and bring the soup to life.

Steps:
- In a 5-quart pot, combine the chicken, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 8 cups water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and skim any foam or impurities from the top. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, cilantro stems and scallion whites. Simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender and releases easily when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the aji sauce: In a food processor, combine the scallion greens, hot sauce, tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the cilantro leaves and pulse to a coarse sauce. Set aside. (Alternatively, the ingredients can be chopped by hand and stirred to combine.)
- Add the potatoes to the soup along with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cover, bring back to a simmer and simmer another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the chicken meat from the bones and shred with your hands or 2 forks (discard the bones and skin). Set aside.
- Add the corn to the soup and cook until the corn and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken meat back to the soup and return the soup to a simmer. Add salt if needed.
- Divide the soup among 6 bowls and serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, capers, aji sauce and remaining cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- Put chicken pieces in a large pot over medium heat with enough water to cover the chicken; bring to a boil and let simmer until the chicken is falling off the bones, about 45 minutes. Remove chicken from pot, reserving the water in the pot. Allow the chicken to cool enough to be able to remove the meat from bones and shred into strands.
- Return the water to medium heat; add the potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the water; cook until the potatoes and onion are soft; about 30 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, use a masher to mash the potatoes into the broth, resulting in a thickened broth. Stir in the shredded chicken and corn; cook until heated through completely. Add the avocado and cilantro just before serving; garnish with sour cream.

Steps:
- In one cup of the chicken stock, simmer the scallions, cilantro, and cumin for 5 minutes. Set it aside until it is cool, then process in a blender or food processor until you have a smooth, green-colored puree to be added to the final soup.
- In the remaining 1 ¼ quarts of chicken stock, simmer the quartered, skinned chicken breasts. Skim off the scum that results and discard. The chicken will take about 1 hour to cook.
- As the chicken is simmering, add the cut up, peeled yucca, and the cut up potatoes. Continue to skim off the scum after the yucca and potatoes are added.
- 30 minutes prior to the end of cooking, add the cut up plaintains.
- 10 minutes before completion of the cooking phase, add the processed scallions-cilantro-cumin mixture and the juice from the 2 lemons.
- Combine the flour and the butter for the roux and microwave for 30 seconds. The result should be a yellowish sludge.
- Add the roux to the soup and stir to blend well.

COLOMBIAN CHICKEN SOUP
This rich stew-like soup is similar to the rustic sancochos found in home-style Latin American restaurants. Traditionally, the chicken is cooked in the soup, removed, and served on the side. For authentic accompaniments, try white rice cooked in chicken stock and a simple green salad with Russian dressing.

AJIACO (COLOMBIAN CHICKEN STEW)
My husband is from Colombia and loves this "typical" dish. I don't really like cilantro, so I don't cook it, I add it at the end as a garnish. This recipe comes from a cookbook published in 1980 in Bogota. I translated it as best I could.

AJIACO (COLOMBIAN CHICKEN SOUP)
Steps:
- Make the soup: Put the chicken in a large (at least 8-quart) stockpot and add 8 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to a vigorous simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, frequently skimming off the foam that floats to the surface. Add all the vegetables, the garlic, the cilantro, and the bouillon cubes to the pot, along with the salt and pepper. Stir a few times to distribute the vegetables and submerge as many of the solids as possible. When the broth returns to a gentle boil, partially cover the pot and simmer, stirring once or twice, for 1-1/2 hours. Taste for salt and add more if needed. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, pick out the chicken pieces and put them on a large plate. Stir the soup with a large spoon, breaking up some of the potatoes to thicken the soup slightly. Keep hot if serving soon or let cool and refrigerate. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bones and shred it by hand. Discard the bones and tendons, and put the shredded chicken in a serving bowl. Make the aji: In a food processor, pulse all the aji ingredients until they're finely minced. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the ajiaco: Put the avocados, sour cream or creme fraiche, capers and cilantro leaves in small bowls and set them on the table along with the bowls of shredded chicken and the aji. Reheat the soup if necessay and ladle it into large soup bowls, putting a quater ear of corn in each bowl. Let your guests add the garnishes and the aji as they like. Make Ahead Tips The soup and the aji can be made a day ahead. If the soup is too thick after it's reheated, thin it with a little water. nutrition information (per serving): Fat (kcal): 46; Fat Calories (g): 440; Saturated Fat (g): 19; Protein (g): 170; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 6; Carbohydrates (g): 26; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 8; Sodium (mg): 70; Cholesterol (mg): 3; Fiber (g): 1300; From Fine Cooking 60, pp. 34 October 1, 2003
COLOMBIAN CHICKEN HOT POT (AJIACO)
This, in one form or another, is the national dish of Colombia. Traditionally, it is made with three different native types of potatoes: a floury variety, a waxy variety, and baby new potatoes. The first two will break down somewhat and thicken the dish a bit. This version is served with capers, sour cream, and an avocado salsa (recipe included).

Steps:
- Place chicken in a large stockpot and cover with water; add green onions, bay leaves, cilantro (see NOTE) and peppercorns.
- Bring to a boil, skimming the surface if necessary; once boiling, reduce heat and cook until chicken is tender, about an hour.
- Remove from heat and allow the chicken to cool in its cooking liquid.
- Remove the chicken and cut into eight pieces: 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, cut each breast into 2 pieces, for a total of 4; discard the rest of the carcass.
- Skim off any fat from the stock, then strain it into a clean Dutch oven or large pot.
- Bring to a boil and add russet potatoes (or yuca) and the Yukon gold potatoes; cook about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the new potatoes and corn and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot, season with salt, if needed, and heat through.
- Meanwhile, just before serving, rough chop the egg, then mash in a small bowl; in another small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash that.
- Add the egg to the avocado, stir in the green onion, cilantro, green chili, and season with salt.
- Serve the chicken mixture in a heated casserole or earthenware dish, with the avocado salsa, capers, and sour cream on the side.
- NOTE: I, personally, find the taste of the cilantro too strong when it is added to make the stock, so I add it (like a bouquet garni) when the new potatoes are added (the last 20 minutes of cooking), then remove for serving.
