• 0.5 lb Tripe (optional)
• 3 Green plantains
• 2 medium Yautía (malanga)
• 1 lb Cassava (yuca)
• 1 lb Pumpkin (kabocha squash)
• 2 medium Taro root (optional)
• 2 ears Corn on the cob
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 1 bunch Cilantro
• 4 leaves Culantro (recao)
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Red onion
• 1 Lime
• 2 Chicken bouillon cubes
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1 tbsp Adobo seasoning
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp (adjust to taste) Salt
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 10 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all the meats (except the longaniza) with lime juice and rinsing thoroughly. Pat them dry and cut them into manageable pieces.

Step 2

In a large bowl, season the meats with adobo, ground black pepper, and oregano. Mix well to coat. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

Peel and cut all the root vegetables (plantains, yautía, cassava, pumpkin, taro, and potatoes) into large chunks. Cut the corn into 3-inch sections. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, beef, pork ribs, smoked pork chops, and goat meat. Sear until browned on all sides.

Step 5

Add the chopped red onion, garlic cloves (minced), cilantro, and culantro. Stir to release their aroma.

Step 6

Add the longaniza sausage and tripe (if using) to the pot. Cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 7

Pour in 10 cups of water. Add the chicken bouillon cubes and stir until dissolved.

Step 8

Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally skimming off any foam from the surface using a spoon.

Step 9

Add the root vegetables (plantains, yautía, cassava, potatoes, taro) and corn to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 10

Add the pumpkin and cover the pot. Continue to simmer for another 40-50 minutes or until the vegetables and meats are tender.

Step 11

Taste the broth and adjust the salt, if necessary. If the stew becomes too thick, add a little water to reach the desired consistency.

Step 12

Serve hot in bowls with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. Optionally, pair with white rice and avocado on the side.
