Dominican Sancocho (7-Meat Stew)
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound beef flank (chuck, or round [0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
1 pound goat meat ([0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
1 pound pork for stews (belly, or chump end [0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
Juice of 2 limes
1 teaspoons minced cilantro ( or parsley)
½ teaspoons oregano (dry, ground) (powdered)
1 teaspoons garlic (crushed)
½ teaspoons salt
4 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound chicken ([0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
1 pound pork ribs ([0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
1 pound bones from a smoked ham ([0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
1 pound pork sausage (longaniza [0.45 kg] cut into small pieces)
2 corn cob (cut into ½-inch slices, optional)
½ pound auyama (kabocha squash) ((auyama) cut into 1-inch pieces [0.23 kg])
3 plantain (green, unripe) (peeled, 2 cut into 1-inch pieces, one left whole)
½ pound ñame (yam) (cut into 1-inch pieces [0.23 kg])
½ pound yautia (malanga) ( cut into 1-inch pieces [0.23 kg])
½ pound yuca (cassava) (cut into 1-inch pieces [0.23 kg])
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place the beef, pork, and goat meat in a large bowl and season with lime juice, cilantro (or parsley), oregano, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt.
2. Coat meat with the seasoning. Marinate for at least half an hour, better an hour.
3. In a large pot heat the oil over high heat, add the seasoned meats, and stir (be careful with hot oil splattering). Cook, stirring until browned. Add the remaining meats (chicken, pork ribs, ham bones, pork sausage) and corn, and cook stirring for a couple of minutes.
4. Lower heat to medium and pour ½ gallon [2.5 lt] of water. Simmer until it breaks the boil. Once the water breaks the boils, add auyama, chopped plantain, and root vegetables (ñame, yautía, yuca).
5. Grate, or scrape with the knife the remaining plantain to make it into a pulp, and add to the pot.
6. Simmer covered over low heat until the last ingredients you added are cooked through, it should have thickened a bit too. If it dries too much, add water as necessary, or simmer uncovered to reduce if it is not thick enough for your taste.
Season with salt to taste.
The trick to this dish is adding the ingredients in the order from the longest-cooking to the shortest-cooking.
