1

Introduce the dish and ingredients, explaining the use of broken wheat and beef breast meat.

2

Prepare approximately 2.5 liters of water in a large pot; add beef, onion, garlic, and salt. Cover and let the meat soften.

3

While the meat cooks, prepare a salad with chopped onion and place it in the freezer to reduce spiciness.

4

Prepare cassava by peeling, washing, and chopping it; store excess in the freezer for later use.

5

Add salt to the water for the cassava and cook until soft, then set aside.

6

Make a vinaigrette for the salad using olive oil, ground white pepper, lemon juice, and salt; mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

7

Once the meat is softened, remove excess water from the beans and add them to the pot.

8

Add the soaked wheat and fresh peas to the pot, cover, and let cook until they begin to soften.

9

Add the carrot to the pot, continuing to add ingredients based on their cooking times.

10

Prepare fish by coating it in wheat flour and frying until golden brown.

11

Once the potato is soft (after about 10-15 minutes), add it to the pot along with the cabbage and let cook for another 10 minutes.

12

If the soup thickens too much, add boiling water to adjust the consistency.

13

After the cabbage softens and becomes translucent, add chopped cilantro and any additional seasoning if desired; let boil for 3-5 more minutes.

14

Turn off the heat and serve the soup with avocado, yuca, and the salad.
