This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add a few things to make it taste right.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cocido didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used the wrong type of paprika.

This cocido was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
