Puchero (Pork, Beef, and Chicken Soup)

Puchero Pork

From the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain to the Yucatan in Mexico and as far south as Argentina in South America, "Puchero", a stew consisting of everything except the kitchen sink, is a commonly consumed comfort food.  This version is a Mexican variation of this classic Latin "cazuela".

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3/4 cup green onion (scallion) thinly sliced, plus 3 whole
  • 1/2 cup tomato peeled and chopped
  • 3 1/4 tsp Kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp saffron powder
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 6 tbsp cilantro (leaves) plus 5 sprigs
  • 1 1/2 lb pork chops cut into riblets
  • 1 lb beef tenderloin cut into 2″ cubes
  • 1 chicken
  • 2 lb cassava peeled and cut into 2″pieces
  • 2 lb potatoes peeled, quartered
  • 1/2 cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3 avocado peeled, pitted, and quartered, for serving
  • long grain rice for serving

Instructions

  • Heat oil in an 8″ skillet over medium heat. Add sliced scallions, tomatoes, 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt, pepper, cumin, saffron, and 2 cloves garlic; cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoon of minced cilantro, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, 20 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Place remaining salt and garlic, whole scallions and cilantro sprigs, spareribs, brisket, and chicken in a 12-qt. pot and cover with water by 1″. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces, and discard skin and carcass. Place chicken on a plate, cover, and set aside. Add cassava and potatoes to pot and cook for 10 minutes. Add cabbage, cover loosely, and cook until vegetables are tender, 20-25 minutes.
  • Return chicken to pot, stir in reserved scallion—tomato sauce, and season with salt and pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Ladle stew into large serving bowls and sprinkle with remaining minced cilantro. Serve with avocado and rice on the side.
