1

Clean the chicken and soak it in vinegar for 5 minutes to remove strong odors.

2

Remove excess vinegar and place the chicken in a pot.

3

Add 1 tablespoon of colorau, 1 tablespoon of cumin, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and salt to taste, mixing well.

4

Add 1 small chopped onion, a piece of bell pepper, 1 tomato, and 4 cloves of garlic, mixing everything well.

5

Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.

6

Heat the chicken mixture on the stove until it starts to boil.

7

Add 500 ml of water and a chicken bouillon cube, mixing until it dissolves.

8

Cover the pot to cook faster and stir after 15 minutes.

9

Add small potatoes (with skin) to the pot, optionally adding more water if needed.

10

After another 15 minutes, check if the chicken and potatoes are tender; they should be soft enough for a fork to pierce them easily.

11

Garnish with green herbs before serving.
