Asopao

Asopao is a family of stews [1][2] that can be made with chicken, pork, beef, shrimp seafood, vegetables, or any combination of the above.

A version said to be based on the Spanish rice dish arroz a la valenciana includes chicken, rabbit and a variety of seafood cooked in sherry wine.

It includes clams, shrimp, squid, octopus, fish, lobster, crab, scallops, and mussels.

[7][8] Asopao is typically flavored with wine, broth, bay leaf and oregano, along with sofrito, olives, capers, and rice being the most important part.

Asopao is mentioned in "Caribbean Conspiracy" by Brenda Conrad, about a story that takes place in Puerto Rico which was published in 1942[9] and printed as a weekly series in dozens of U.S. newspapers in 1943.
