For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or bok choy. If you can't find chorizo de Bilbao, you can substitute with another type of Spanish chorizo or even smoked sausage. Adjust the amount of water to your desired consistency. The stew should be thick and flavorful.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the plantains and potatoes and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
02
StepAdd the chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
03
StepAdd the chicken pieces and chorizo to the pot. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to brown slightly.
04
StepPour in enough water to completely cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
05
StepAdd the diced tomatoes to the pot, cover, and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
06
StepStir in the reserved plantain and potato mixture, shredded cabbage, and drained garbanzo beans. Cover and cook until the cabbage is tender and the stew is heated through, about 5 minutes.
07
StepServe hot, preferably with steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
