CHICKEN AND RICE (ARROZ CON POLLO)
Colombian-Style Arroz con Pollo was one of my favorite recipes growing up. My mom would make it at least once a week for lunch. Rice with chicken is one of the most popular dishes in Colombia and South America, but every country has their own variation. This is my mom's Arroz con Pollo recipe. Enjoy!

COLOMBIAN CHICKEN STEW: SANCOCHO
Quote: "It shouts out loud: I really care for you!" I lived in Colombia, South America, and Sancocho is the ultimate in comfort food there! And like in Italian homes, each family has their own version of lasagna; this is my personalized version of the soup. It is believed that it is so powerful that it can bring the dead back to life. That is why it is served after every party and makes the perfect Sunday meal!

Steps:

- Add the chicken and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Add the yucca and green plantain and simmer for 10 minutes more. Add the potatoes, ripe plantain, and corn and simmer for another 15 minutes.
- In a blender, combine the remaining 1 cup cilantro and a little of the stew broth and puree. Stir the puree into the soup, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
AJIACO (COLOMBIAN CHICKEN, POTATO AND CORN SOUP)
This Colombian soup is served in restaurants throughout Bogota and is generally considered comfort food. It can contain as many as three different kinds of potatoes, but we streamlined this recipe to use two (Yukon gold and purple, though you can substitute red bliss for the purple). The garnishes add brightness and bring the soup to life.

Steps:
- In a 5-quart pot, combine the chicken, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 8 cups water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and skim any foam or impurities from the top. Add the onion, garlic, bay leaf, cilantro stems and scallion whites. Simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender and releases easily when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl to cool, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile make the aji sauce: In a food processor, combine the scallion greens, hot sauce, tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the cilantro leaves and pulse to a coarse sauce. Set aside. (Alternatively, the ingredients can be chopped by hand and stirred to combine.)
- Add the potatoes to the soup along with 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Cover, bring back to a simmer and simmer another 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove the chicken meat from the bones and shred with your hands or 2 forks (discard the bones and skin). Set aside.
- Add the corn to the soup and cook until the corn and potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken meat back to the soup and return the soup to a simmer. Add salt if needed.
- Divide the soup among 6 bowls and serve with sliced avocado, sour cream, capers, aji sauce and remaining cilantro leaves.

COLOMBIAN CHICKEN HOT POT (AJIACO)
This, in one form or another, is the national dish of Colombia. Traditionally, it is made with three different native types of potatoes: a floury variety, a waxy variety, and baby new potatoes. The first two will break down somewhat and thicken the dish a bit. This version is served with capers, sour cream, and an avocado salsa (recipe included).

Steps:
- Place chicken in a large stockpot and cover with water; add green onions, bay leaves, cilantro (see NOTE) and peppercorns.
- Bring to a boil, skimming the surface if necessary; once boiling, reduce heat and cook until chicken is tender, about an hour.
- Remove from heat and allow the chicken to cool in its cooking liquid.
- Remove the chicken and cut into eight pieces: 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, cut each breast into 2 pieces, for a total of 4; discard the rest of the carcass.
- Skim off any fat from the stock, then strain it into a clean Dutch oven or large pot.
- Bring to a boil and add russet potatoes (or yuca) and the Yukon gold potatoes; cook about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the new potatoes and corn and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pot, season with salt, if needed, and heat through.
- Meanwhile, just before serving, rough chop the egg, then mash in a small bowl; in another small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash that.
- Add the egg to the avocado, stir in the green onion, cilantro, green chili, and season with salt.
- Serve the chicken mixture in a heated casserole or earthenware dish, with the avocado salsa, capers, and sour cream on the side.
- NOTE: I, personally, find the taste of the cilantro too strong when it is added to make the stock, so I add it (like a bouquet garni) when the new potatoes are added (the last 20 minutes of cooking), then remove for serving.

- Ajiaco (Chicken and Potato Stew) A hearty chicken stew especially beloved in the city of Bogota, ajiaco contains chicken pieces, potatoes, and corn on the cob and traditionally appears on the table garnished with avocado, sour cream, and capers.
- Sofrito (Tomato Sauce) Frequently appearing in Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Hispanic cuisines, sofrito is a thick, savory paste typically made from a blend of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and fresh herbs.
- Pandebono (Cheese Bread) This simple, cheesy pandebono uses two kinds of starch: tapioca and cornmeal. You can use precooked cornmeal called masarepa that's often used to make arepas, regular cornmeal, or even a special mix for making these rolls called harina de pandebono.
- Arepas (Corn Cakes) Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, mild corn arepas use a special cornmeal labeled masarepa, or masa al instante. Try them warm, smeared with butter and honey or jam, or as a side for soaking up the juices from just about any meat or bean dish.
- Queso Fresco (Fresh Cow's Milk Cheese) With a dry, crumbly texture and a tangy flavor, queso fresco appears in all sorts of Hispanic cuisines. Much like feta, it crumbled rather than melting into goo, so cooks often add it right before serving it with dishes like arepas, empanadas, or over the top of casseroles, egg dishes, or really anywhere you'd use a mild cheese.
- Hogao (Tomato and Onion Salsa) A savory mix of tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, and other ingredients that get sautéed until the vegetables go soft and fragrant, hogao makes a versatile condiment for lots of dishes.
- Carne Asada (Citrus-Marinaded Steak) Literally "grilled steak," carne asada turns flank or skirt steak into a tender, succulent dish with a simple citrus marinade.
- Empanadas with Black Beans and Corn. With a mixture of black beans and corn folded into tender pastry, empanadas make a delicious handheld meal or hearty snack.
- Empanadas with Beef and Potato Filling. The outer crust of these empanadas is made with cornmeal (the same one you'd use for arepas) has a uniquely Colombian flair, as does the stewed beef (or pork) and potatoes filling seasoned with hogao, a cooked tomato salsa.
- Spinach and Ricotta Empanadas. Garlicky spinach and ricotta cheese create a savory filling for these simple vegetarian empanadas. They also freeze and reheat well, so make a big batch while you have all of the ingredients ready.
