Season the Beef, Goat, Pork, and Chicken with four tablespoons of green seasoning and set aside to marinate in a container for at least 1 hour or overnight for more depth of flavor and place in the fridge.

Using an extra-large stockpot or heavy bottom pan, add the oil and bring to medium to high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, chadon beni, celery, seasoning peppers, and oregano, stirring to combine and cooking for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

Add the seasoned meats to the pan, stir to coat in the seasonings, and cook for 15-20 minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot, and add enough water to submerge all the ingredients thoroughly. Then bring to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low and allow it to cook for 45 minutes or until all the meat is thoroughly cooked, and the vegetables are fork-tender. Stir periodically and add water when necessary to prevent food from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Once the meat is cooked, and the vegetables are fork-tender, remove from the heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes, season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.

Serve warm in bowls or on top of cooked rice and enjoy.
