Substitute green peppers for Italian peppers if necessary, and prepare two chayotes.

Prepare the meat: use oxtail, chicken, and pork riblets.

In a pressure cooker, layer the pork on the bottom, followed by the oxtail and chicken.

Add the dry ingredients and half a bottle of capers to the meat.

Add the chopped vegetables, including the onion, squash, and peppers.

Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients.

Add half a cup of bitter orange juice and cilantro or regulato.

Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting and simmer for about four hours.

After cooking, remove excess fat or grease from the pot.
