Recipe Method
1. You can either buy a whole chicken and divide it into 8 pieces, or ask the butcher to do so for you. Chicken legs and thighs work as well.
2. Clean the pork making sure to remove the hairs from the skin with a sharp knife or a razor.
3. Heat up some oil in a skillet and add 1 tbsp of oil and start to saute your onions along with the garlic. Making sure not to burn either one by keeping the fire at around medium high heat.
4. In a large casserole dish, start searing your pork belly and chicken, making sure to get good color on either side before adding the onion and garlic mixture.
5. Add your green and red peppers to the dish and cook for a few minutes before deglazing the dish with vinegar. Once the vinegar starts to evaporate a little, add the tomatoes, bay leaf and salt.
6. Fill the dish halfway with water before adding the potatoes.
7. You can either leave this on low-medium heat for 30-35 minutes or place into a 375 oven uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
