chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: smoked paprika

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: pork butt

Chicken thighs are leaner and cheaper.

Prepare the chicken thighs and pork by cutting away excess fat and cubing the meat.

Peel and chop the taro, sweet potato, cassava, and plantains.

Cut the corn off the cob and set aside.

Juice the lemons to prevent oxidation of the plantains.

In a pot, heat 2 ounces of hot oil and add chopped onion and pepper; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add minced garlic, bay leaves, and cumin; stir to combine.

In the same pot, add tomato paste and 4 ounces of water to create a sauce.

Seal the meats in the pot until browned, then add the sauce and cover with water to soften the meat.

Once boiling, add the corn, then the remaining meats, and lemon juice.

Cook until the meats are tender and flavors meld together.
