Boil water in a large pot.

Add pork belly, ribs, chicken feet, and smoked ham hock to the boiling water.

Season with half a tablespoon of salt.

Cook the smoked meats first, then remove them before adding more salt.

Peel the potatoes and turnip, cutting the turnip to fit the quantity needed.

Add the farinheira sausage after 5-10 minutes of cooking the smoked meats, ensuring to remove the blood and meat sausages before adding the farinheira.

Check the farinheira to avoid it bursting during cooking.

Once the smoked meats are cooked, remove them from the pot and set aside.

Add rice to the pot with the remaining broth.

Season the broth with salt and stir.

Add the turnip, carrots, and let them cook for 5 minutes without adding potatoes or cabbage yet.

After 5 minutes, add the potatoes to the pot.

Continue cooking the vegetables until the potatoes are tender.

Remove all the meats again and slice them for serving.
