Prepare the Pork Ribs: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, add the pork ribs, quartered onion, and smashed garlic cloves. Cover with 3-4 liters of water or broth. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the pork ribs are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface during the first 30 minutes of simmering.
⏱️ 1 hour 30 minutes - 2
Add the Root Vegetables: Add the yuca chunks and potato chunks to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Continue to simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes, or until the yuca and potatoes are beginning to soften.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 3
Add the Plantains and Corn: Add the plantain chunks and corn sections to the pot. Add the tied bunch of cilantro stems. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the plantains and corn are tender and cooked through. The broth should have thickened slightly from the starches of the vegetables.
⏱️ 20-30 minutes - 4
Season and Finish: Remove and discard the onion, garlic, and cilantro stems. Taste the broth and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The flavors should be well-developed and savory. If the broth is too thin, you can mash a few pieces of yuca or potato against the side of the pot to thicken it further.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Serve: Ladle the hot Sancocho into large bowls, ensuring each serving has a generous portion of pork ribs, yuca, plantains, potatoes, and corn. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro leaves. Serve immediately with a side of fluffy white rice and a small bowl of ají for those who like a spicy kick.
