Prepare the pot by layering the bottom with cabbage leaves.

Add a layer of potatoes and sweet potatoes on top of the cabbage.

Place the chicken, pork, and beef pieces evenly over the potatoes.

Add the chorizo and shrimp on top of the meats.

Layer the mussels and clams on top of the seafood.

Sprinkle chopped onions and minced garlic over the entire mixture.

Season with bay leaves, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Pour enough water into the pot to steam the ingredients, ensuring it doesn't touch the food directly.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid to trap the steam.

Heat the pot over medium heat for about 1-1.5 hours, checking occasionally to ensure water is sufficient.

Once the meats are tender and seafood is cooked, remove from heat.

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve directly from the pot, allowing guests to help themselves.
