Pochero

Our family loves this meatless vegetable goulash; it’s a delicious, creamy dish. Sliced mushrooms or shallow-fried tofu can be used in place of the Quorn. Serve with potatoes, noodles, or rice. Enjoy, I hope!

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  2. 2 plantains, peeled and quartered
  3. 2 small potatoes, quartered
  4. 1 onion, chopped
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 4 pounds chicken legs, thighs, and wings
  7. 2 (4 ounce) links chorizo de bilbao (spicy Spanish semi-cured sausage), quartered
  8. salt and pepper to taste
  9. water to cover
  10. 2 tomatoes, diced
  11. 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
  12. 1 small head cabbage, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; fry the plantains and potatoes in the hot oil until crisp on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside, keeping the oil in the pot.
  2. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken and chorizo; season with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Pour enough water over the chicken to cover completely; bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cover, and cook another 10 minutes. Stir the plantains, potatoes, garbanzo beans, and cabbage into the mixture. Cook covered until the cabbage is wilted and everything is hot, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

Chicken was nice and tender. I expected the plantain to taste sweeter. It taste like potato.

This was a special meal growing up. My mom would usually add chunks of boneless pork ribs stewed up with the chicken until soft. Hmmm….delicious!
Scott Higgins
Absolutely delicious!!! Not being a major meat eater I used less chicken; bad move! I totally should have used the 4lbs – and I should have doubled the amount of chorizo as well.
