Directions

Place the beef in a bowl and add the herbs, the garlic, the vinegar, the spices and the salt. Mix evenly.

In a large saucepan heat the oil, add the beef and stir. Cover and cook for one minute, then stir again. Add a few spoonfuls of water if the mixture sticks to the saucepan. Continue this process for 20 minutes.

Add the pork and let it fry for 15 minutes, adjusting the water level as necessary.

Add the rest of the meats and the bouillon cubes to the mixture, and let it cook over low heat (stirring and adjusting the water level regularly) for 10 mins.

Add quarter gallon of water and bring to boiling point. Add the yam and the taro and the two green plantains that had been cubed earlier.

Let it boil for 10 minutes. Grate the remaining plantain and add to the mixture. Add all the remaining ingredients and adjust the water level as necessary. Stir regularly to prevent sticking. Let it boil until the ingredients are soft and the mixture thickens. Add salt to taste.

Serve warm accompanied with white rice
