December has arrived with all its joy, good food and homesickness. Celebrating the holidays away from our home countries is never easy, but what could be better than a familiar meal to bring back all those good memories and the taste of home.This Nochebuena I decided to prepare a traditional sancocho of chicken and oxtail, a very typical Colombian dish, ideal to serve on a cold December night.

Ingredients
IMUSA

To make this sancocho recipe, I used one of my favorite Colombian cookware brands: IMUSA, a brand with which I grew up. I remember when I was little and watching my mom and sister cook, and they always use IMUSA products. So now that I have my own kitchen, these products have become my standard as well. For the Nochebuena I will use the IMUSA double grill so I could make the dish out on the patio of my house and save some valuable space during this busy time for kitchen. IMUSA’s 6.9-quart caldero is also perfect for this sancocho, since this recipe includes a good amount of ingredients, and it is non-stick.

Caldo de res

This recipe is usually made with hen or beef, but the fish sancocho is very popular as well. I will be sharing the fish recipe in another blog post, so look out for that! When serving the sancocho, it is best accompanied with avocado, patacones, rice and/or a dessert like natilla. For more recipes from IMUSA click here!
