I make no claim as to authenticity and named it NY Style only because I live in New York. I was making another's recipe, but had to change it so much that I am posting it my way. From what I understand, the necessary ingredients are chicken, beef, plantain, and yucca. Serve with rice, beans, avocado, and hot pepper sauce.

This Sancocho was really delicious. I followed the recipe as written. The only difference was that I could only fit about 4 cups of broth into the pressure cooker before it got to the maximum fill line, not 8 cups. But the chicken made plenty of broth while it was cooking, so it was not too dry. I used a 5 lb chicken but I think a 4 lb might have been enough. Also, it seemed like a lot of onions, and it smelled oniony while cooking, but the soup did not taste oniony at all. It was a nice balance of flavors. People who don't like spicy food might want to use less cayenne pepper. I'm sure I'll be making this again because the kids loved it.
