Such ingredients are pork, garbanzo beans, cabbage and pork hide. Puchero a la criolla is also called puchero seco (dry puchero) in some provinces. It is enriched by adding corn, sweet potato, cassava and chorizo. In some Northern provinces, charqui(dry meat) is also added to the ingredients mentioned before. Puchero criollo is accompanied with the traditional native sauce that can be raw or cooked, or with a fried sauce made up of lard, onion and paprika.
