What is "cocido"

Cocido (Peninsular or Latin American ) is a traditional Spanish stew. In Spanish, cocido is the past participle of the verb cocer (to cook), so cocido literally means "cooked [thing]." Various meats ( pork, beef, chicken, mutton), embutidos, vegetables ( cabbage, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, carrots), chickpeas (garbanzos), etc. are simmered in a pot, and sometimes other ingredients are added at serving time (such as eggs). 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, gallego).
