Preparation

    In a large pot, add the chicken, beef, and pork. Cover them with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

    Add Aromatics

    Once the meat is boiling, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the pot. Stir well.

  3. 3

    Season the Broth

    Add salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves to the pot. Continue to boil for about 30 minutes.

    After 30 minutes, add the yuca, plantains, potatoes, corn, and carrots into the pot. Stir to combine.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sancocho

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the sancocho to simmer for another 45 minutes or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
