Thread Name: BS: a pot of San Cocho
Subject: a pot of San Cocho
The gods conspired and led me to a couple packages of ox-tails in the grocer's on Friday. Today I realized I didn't have the other ingredients to make San Cocho, so early this morn I was back at the store and it's been cooking all day. I'm sitting here nearly slobbering all over the keyboard just smelling the stuff. I learned how to make it during a visit to Colombia several years ago. It's really simple: ox tails, yucca, plaintains, spuds and onions, seasoned with salt, black pepper, basil and coriander. After all the good stuff is gone, I turn the broth into a hearty soup with either rice or barley. Hmm! It's a pot full of good eating that lasts as long as you want it to. We have a bit of fall in the air tonight, so it's just the right thing at the right time. Ya'll come on in and have a bowl or two.
