- Add all ingredients, except for seasonings, to sauté pan and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Then add seasonings and simmer about 5 minutes longer.
- Discard the bay leaves.
- PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:.
- When meats are tender, add the viandas, except ripe plantains and pumpkin.
- Cook about one hour more.
- Add the sofrito and cook another 20-30 minutes.
- Add the ripe plantains and pumpkin and cook 30 more minutes or until pumpkin and plantains are tender.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- If broth is too thin, thicken by mashing some of the viandas in a little broth and adding it back to the pot.
- Serve in a large soup tureen and give each guest a large, flat rimmed soup bowl.
- You can place lime slices in little dishes along the table.
- The ajiaco tastes really good with freshly squeezed lime juice, but let each guest decide if they would like to squirt their own.
- This is so versatile, it can be served as a stew with rice and a salad of lettuce, tomatoe and cucumbers, or served with just the broth or served as is; meats and vegetables in a deep soup bowl.
- Buen Provecho!
