Directions:
- Place the beef, pork, and goat meat in a large bowl and season with lime juice, cilantro (or parsley), oregano, garlic, and a teaspoon of salt.
- Coat meat with the seasoning. Marinate for at least half an hour, better an hour.
- In a large pot heat the oil over high heat, add the seasoned meats, and stir (be careful with hot oil splattering).
- Cook stirring until browned. Add the remaining meats (chicken, pork ribs, ham bones, pork sausage) and corn, and cook stirring for a couple of minutes.
- Lower heat to medium and pour ½ gallon [2.5 lt] of water. Simmer until it breaks the boil.
- Once the water breaks the boils, add auyama, chopped plantain, and root vegetables (ñame, yautía, yuca).
- Grate, or scrape with the knife the remaining plantain to make it into a pulp, and add to the pot.
- Simmer covered over low heat until the last ingredients you added are cooked through, it should have thickened a bit too. If it dries too much, add water as necessary, or simmer uncovered to reduce if it is not thick enough for your taste.
- Remove from the heat and serve.
- Season with salt to taste.
