👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde
- 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Stir in the malanga, corn, green plantains, and yuca. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4
Return the chicken to the pot. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, bay leaves, cumin, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and the root vegetables are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
As the stew cooks, the malanga and yuca will break down slightly, thickening the broth. If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more chicken broth or water.
- 7
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- 8
Ladle the Ajiaco into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
