Instructions
- 1.
Prepare all ingredients: cube beef, chicken, and pork; slice calabresa sausage; chop bacon; slice carrots; cube bell peppers; chop onions; dice tomatoes; cube cooked yuca; chop parsley and green onions.
Time: 15 min - 2.
Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until very hot. Add the chopped bacon and render until crispy and it releases its fat.
Time: 5 min - 3.
Add the chicken hearts to the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes. Then add the sliced calabresa sausage, pork, chicken, and finally the beef. Sear all the meats until beautifully browned on all sides.
Time: 10 min - 4.
Add the bell peppers, sliced carrots, and chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until they are golden and soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the diced tomatoes.
Time: 7 min - 5.
Add the pre-cooked pinhão, fresh parsley, and green onions. Stir well and let the flavors meld together for a few minutes.
Time: 3 min - 6.
Gently fold in the cooked and cubed yuca. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the yuca is heated through and incorporated into the dish.
Time: 3 min - 7.
Taste the dish and season with salt and pepper as needed, remembering that the bacon and sausage already add significant saltiness. Serve hot, traditionally with white rice.
Time: 2 min
Tips
- 💡Watch the Salt: Be cautious when adding salt. The bacon and calabresa sausage contribute a lot of salt to the dish, so always taste before adding more.
- 💡Pinhão Secret: While fresh pinhão is best, canned or vacuum-sealed versions can be used if fresh is unavailable. Ensure they are pre-cooked and peeled.
- 💡Serving Suggestion: For an authentic touch, garnish your Entrevero Gaúcho with seasonal citrus slices like tangerine (bergamota) or orange.
