Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Cut the cabbage into quarters. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Prepare Meat

    Cut the beef brisket and pork shoulder into large pieces. Slice the chorizo sausage into thick rounds. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sautéing

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 4

    Browning Meats

    Add the beef brisket, pork shoulder, and chorizo to the pot. Brown the meat on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Simmering

    Pour in the 2 liters of water, add the chicken thighs, and bring to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

  4. 6

    Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. 7

    Adding Vegetables
