Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a large pot, season the chicken, beef, and pork pieces with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Allow the meat to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat the pot over medium-high heat until the meat begins to brown on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper, sautéing until translucent, approximately 3–5 minutes.
- Carefully add the sautéed aromatics to the pot with the browned meat, stirring well to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 4 cups of water to the pot, or use broth for added flavor. Bring to a vigorous boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let the stew simmer gently for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, sliced plantain, and corn chunks. Continue simmering for an additional 30–40 minutes until vegetables are soft.
- After 1 hour of total cooking time, taste the stew and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Let the stew sit for a few minutes off the heat before serving. Garnish with lime wedges and serve hot.
