Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 large onion (chopped)
4 aji dulce peppers (chopped (use other ajis to your preference, or use small sweet peppers as a substitute))
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 pound boneless beef chuck (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 pound boneless pork shoulder (cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 pounds boneless chicken breast (or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 ears corn (cut into thirds or quarters)
1 large yuca (about 8 ounces, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 large yam (about 8 ounces, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 pound butternut squash (or use pumpkin, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces)
2 green plantains (peeled and quartered)
1 cup tomato sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
3-4 cups water (or use chicken, beef or vegetable stock - or enough to cover the ingredients)

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven to medium heat and add the peppers and onions. Cook for 5 minutes to soften, stirring.
Add the garlic and cilantro and stir. Cook for 1 minute.
Add the beef, pork and chicken pieces with the oregano. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to brown the meats.
Add the corn, yuca, yam, squash and plantains (and any other root vegetables you're using).
Add tomato sauce and enough water or stock to cover. Adjust with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meats are very tender.
Remove the plantains from the stew and mash them slightly in a separate bowl. Return to the pot and cook another 2 minutes.
Serve with white rice and crusty bread.
