Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Clean and gut the whole fish, removing any scales. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and cut the yuca, plantains, and carrots into chunks. Chop the onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Cut the corn into pieces.

Cooking

    Make the Broth

    In a large pot, add the water, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Add the Fish

    Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the whole fish to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for about 10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add the Vegetables

    After 10 minutes, add the yuca, plantains, carrots, and corn. Stir gently and let simmer for another 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

    Season the Sancocho

    Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir well and let simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to meld the flavors.
