• 1 pound Pork (pork ribs or pork belly)
• 4 pieces Chicken (drumsticks or thighs)
• 3 ears Corn on the cob (cut into thirds)
• 2 pieces Green plantains
• 1 pound Yuca (cassava), peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 pieces Yellow potatoes, peeled and halved
• 2 pieces Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Tomatoes, finely chopped
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 stalks Scallions, chopped
• 1 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 10 cups Water
• 2 pieces Avocado (for serving, optional)
• 2 cups White rice (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, scallions, and cumin. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 2

Add the bone-in beef, pork, and chicken to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Sear the meats for 5-8 minutes until lightly browned.

Step 3

Add the 10 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.

Step 4

Add the corn, green plantains, yuca, yellow potatoes, and sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and ensure all ingredients are submerged in the liquid.

Step 5

Continue simmering the stew over low heat for another 60-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the meat is fully cooked and tender.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro right before serving.

Step 7

Serve hot in bowls, ensuring each portion contains a mix of meats, vegetables, and broth. Accompany with slices of avocado and a side of white rice, if desired.
