Step-by-Step Instructions for Sancocho Dominicano
- In a large pot, combine 1 pound each of chicken, beef, and pork. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme, mixing well to coat the meats. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the meats start to brown.
- In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Transfer the sautéed ingredients to the pot with the meats. Pour in 4 cups of water and bring to a vigorous boil. Skim off any foam and then cover.
- Let simmer gently for about 45 minutes to allow the meats to tenderize. Stir occasionally.
- Add the diced potatoes, sliced plantain, and chunks of corn to the pot. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Ladle into bowls.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side.
