Cocido (Spanish: [koˈθiðo]) or cozido (Portuguese: [kuˈziðu] ) is a traditional stew eaten as a main dish in Spain, Portugal, Brazil and other Hispanophone and Lusophone countries.
Etymology
In Spanish, cocido is the past participle of the verb cocer ("to boil"), so it literally means "boiled [thing]". In Portuguese, the word cozido means "cooked", "boiled" or "baked", being the past participle of the verb cozer ("to cook", "to boil", or "to bake").
Preparation and ingredients
Cocido is made of various meats (pork, beef, chicken, and mutton), embutidos and vegetables like cabbage, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, carrots and chickpeas (garbanzos). Other foods (such as eggs or cheese) can be added before serving. Due to the wide regional diversity of the dish, the word cocido is typically followed by the place of origin (e.g., madrileño, maragato, lebaniego, galego).
The basic method of preparation involves slow cooking over low heat. Cozido may be prepared with a wide variety of vegetables, meats, fish, and seafood. Ingredients vary across regions.
