Technique to learn

one-pot starchy braise

Cooking meats together with heavy root vegetables in broth so natural starches thicken the gravy as everything cooks.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add chicken thighs to the pot and sear for 3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown.
Step 3: Add chopped scallions, minced garlic, and chopped tomatoes to the pot around the chicken pieces.

Step 4: Sauté the vegetable mixture for 5 minutes until translucent and soft.

Step 5: Stir in ground achiote, chicken broth, and peeled yuca pieces, bringing the liquid to a simmer.

Step 6: Cover pot with a lid, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 7: Nestle the sliced sweet plantains into the liquid alongside the yuca and chicken.

Step 8: Cover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until yuca is fork-tender and plantains are soft.

Cooking tips

Choose plantains with yellow skin covered in black spots for maximum natural sweetness.
Keep yuca submerged in broth so it cooks evenly without drying out.
