Note :
Most people here use artificial yellow coloring to make their puchero an unnatural shade of yellow. In fact, they sell jars of yellow coloring powder in the spice section for that very purpose. I suppose the strange tradition started when they realized that saffron was expensive and decided to switch some or all of it out in their paellas and other rice dishes. Unfortunately they tend to go overboard with it. I did not use any artificial coloring in my pictures above, and I see no need to add in any more color; I think it’s beautiful as it is. Just having used a mix of vegetables and a healthy corral chicken in my stew was enough to turn it a natural shade of yellow on its own. I didn’t even use saffron, but if you would like to brighten up the color of your puchero, that is what I would recommend you use.
