Soak the tasajo overnight in cold water, changing the water at least twice.  
Remove the tasajo from the water and cut into 1−inch pieces. Cut the ribs  
into individual ribs. Cut the flank steak into 1−inch strips. Cut the pork  
into 1−inch pieces. Place the tasajo and ribs in a stock pot and cover with  
water. Season the water with salt and pepper. Cook the meat for about 1 hour  
or until the ribs are tender. Remove from the heat and drain. In a stock  
pot, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, garlic, bell  
peppers, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Saute the mixture for 2  
to 3 minutes. Add the flank steak and pork loin. Brown the meat for 3 to 4  
minutes. Season the meat with salt. Add the yuca, name, malanga, and corn.  
Season with salt and pepper. Add 4 quarts chicken stock and bring to a boil.  
Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until the vegetables are  
tender. Add the boniato, green plantains, and lime juice. Cook for 10  
minutes. Add the calabaza and the ripe plantains and cook for 15 minutes.  
Season with salt and pepper. The stew will be creamy with pieces of meat and  
vegetables. Serve with crusty bread. This recipe yields 8 servings.
