Cocido is a prized stew in Spain and Spanish colonies that can mix a variety of ingredients into a delicious concoction. It can be made with or without the meat, but if you aren't vegetarian you should add the beef!
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef brisquet cut in 1.5 inch chunks (trim fat) shopping list
- 1-3 links chorizon sausage cut round (the more chorizo, the spicier) shopping list

- 2 small ancho or jalepeno peppers, seeded and chopped (fresh is best) shopping list
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano shopping list
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped (more to taste) shopping list
How to make it
- Add meat, onions, garlic, salt and pepper, stock, and water to large pot
- bring to boil and cook 5 minutes--skim scum off top

Yes, you can comment on your own cooking and give yourself 5 forks, once. Nice recipe here. Tis a 5 me thinks. Do you use Spanish or Mexican chorizo? They are quite different. Thanks for the post. RJ
