You can easily use different meats in this stew. Traditionally in the Dominican Republic, sancocho is made with a variety of meats: pork, chicken, beef, and goat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor simplicity, I use only one meat. I love it, particularly with pork and use three different meat cuts for added flavor but chicken and beef are all great to use in this recipe as well. Use large pieces of protein for a really hearty stew.
