Cocido montañés

(Puchera montañesa, Mountain Stew)

The essential ingredients in this hearty Cantabrian stew include white beans and collard greens (berza), but the dish is commonly enriched with chorizo (pork sausage) and morcilla (blood sausage), pork ribs, and bacon.


It is believed that the stew was invented in the 17th century, but it was given its current name in the 1960s. Unlike many other types of Spanish stews where the broth is served separately, cocido montañés is typically enjoyed as a one-course meal.
