Home cooking attempt — Sancocho from scratch
I spent an afternoon making Sancocho from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting Colombian hogao tomato sauce right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The savoury and satisfying result was rewarding once I got it right.
the bandeja paisa plate is a point of Antioquian cultural pride. I served it with lulada lulo fruit drink as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Sancocho yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
