1 tbsp finely chopped white onion
2 tsp fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
3/4 cup water
1 small plum tomato, cored and finely chopped (optional)
salt
3 tbsp olive oil
2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 large tomatoes, cored, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 bay leaves
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme leave
2 lbs skinless chicken thighs , excess fat removed
2 lbs flanken beef ribs
2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 2-inch long pieces
2 ripe plantains, peeled and cut into 2 inch long pieces
1 bunch fresh cilantro , stems tied together with kitchen twine
14 cups chicken broth, homemade
1 1/2 lbs small potatoes, peeled (red or white )
3 cups diced pumpkin or 3 cups butternut squash
10 pieces frozen yucca root ((2-inches long)
4 ears corn, husked and quartered
white rice , for serving (optional)
1 medium hass avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and sliced for serving (optional)
6 tortillas , for serving (or arepas) (optional)

Directions:

For the aji:
Place the cilantro, scallions, chiles, onions, lime juice and 3/4 cup water in a small glass bowl or jar with a tight fitting lid.
Add the tomato if using, season with salt, to taste, and stir all of the ingredients together.
Cover and set the aji aside at room temperature for several hours to allow the flavors to release into the liquid, then refrigerate until serving.
Heat the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat for 1 minute.
Add the onions and garlic and cook until they're soft and transparent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, and thyme and continue to cook 5 more minutes.
Add the chicken and the beef ribs and cook until the tomatoes have disintegrated, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and skimming the foam from the top of the broth when necessary.
Add the green plantains, cilantro, and chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the plantains are tender, 30 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
Add the potatoes, pumpkin, ripe plantains, yucca and corn and simmer, uncovered, until both are tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove the cilantro and the bay leaves and return the chicken to the pot to re-heat it.
To serve, arrange a piece of chicken, some beef, plantains, and a few pieces of yucca and potatoes on each plate.
Serve the broth in a small bowl, and the aji sauce on the side, along with a bowl of rice, corn, some avocados and arepas or tortillas on separate plates.
