Add to favorites

Puchero is a hearty poor man's stew, something between a soup and a stew, with variations depending on the region. It was invented in Andalusia, where chickpeas are generously added to puchero, and meat plays a minor role. In South America, on the contrary, beef has become the main ingredient of puchero due to its cheapness and availability.
