Ingredients
 

  • 2 whole chicken breast bone in and skin removed
  • 1 pound lean pork cut into pieces
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ tablespoon ground cumin
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 5 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon achiote powder
  • 3 Colombian chorizos cooked and sliced
  • 2 cups of diced ham
  • ½ cup of fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 ½ pounds of your favorite seafood: shrimp, fish, calamari, scallops, mussels, squid and/or clams
  • ½ cup frozen diced carrots
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breast, pork, 6 cups water and the remaining ingredients for the stock in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the chicken rest in the pot for about 15 minutes covered. Let it cool, shred the chicken and pork, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a saucepan, add the rice, stir until well coated and cook for about one minute stirring often. Add the broth and salt, bring to a boil until the broth is evaporated, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and set a side.
  • Heat the remaining oil over medium heat in a large sauce pan, add the onions, red bell pepper, green pepper and garlic, stir often and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste, cumin, achiote powder, chorizo, ham, salt, pepper and half of the fresh cilantro. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the raw seafood, stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked shredded chicken, pork, rice, peas and carrots, mix well and cook until the seafood is cooked, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining fresh cilantro, fresh parsley and serve.
