INSTRUCTIONS
TIP: If planned ahead, marinate meats the night before with 1 tablespoon of the herbal blend.
Blend the last 11 ingredients in a blender until smooth (Recaito).
In a deep and extra large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and brown the chicken on all sides. Put chicken aside. Then, brown the beef and pork.
Add water, the rest of the herbal blend, corn & chorizos. When the pork & beef are tender (1hr on medium to high heat) add the chicken and plantains. Cook for 15 minutes
Add the yucca and sour orange, limejuice and 3 cups of water.
TIP: Yucca tends to cook quickly.
Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
Consistency should not be thick or runny, it should be similar to chicken soup. Taste for flavor. Add salt if needed
Serve with white rice , slices of avocado and a nice imported Presidente beer!
Enjoy!
