Creole potato stew is a rustic and flavorful dish that combines traditional Creole ingredients and cooking techniques. This hearty stew is typically made with tender potatoes, succulent shrimp, juicy chicken, and an array of colorful vegetables, all simmered together in a rich and savory broth. The characteristic flavors of creole cuisine, such as the "holy trinity" of onions, celery, and bell peppers, along with aromatic herbs and spices, are infused into the stew, creating a complex and delectable taste experience. Served hot over rice or with crusty bread for dipping, Creole potato stew is a comforting and satisfying meal that captures the essence of Louisiana's vibrant culinary heritage.

Steps:
- Make the broth: Cover the tasajo with cold water and soak it for at least 8 hours. (There is no need to refrigerate it.) Change the water and continue soaking for another hour. Drain again and rinse under cold running water. Put the tasajo in a large, heavy pot and add about 6 quarts of water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 1 hour. Add the pork, beef brisket, and bay leaf, and let the three meats cook together until tender. Remove the pot from the heat and skim as much fat as possible from the broth. (If you have time, the best way is to refrigerate the broth overnight until the fat solidifies and then remove it.)
- Make the Sofrito: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute the onions and green pepper until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add the pepper, cumin, and tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the sofrito to the broth and simmer, covered, while you prepare the vegetables.
- Complete the Dish: Peel the malanga, boniato, name, yucca, and calabaza and cube them. Cut the corn and green plaintains into 1 1/2-inch pieces. With a knife, split the skin of each piece of green plantain and open it away from the center as if you were taking off a coat. Sprinkle the plantain pieces with the lime juice. Slit the semi-ripe and ripe plantains lengthwise and slice them crosswise into 1 1/2-inch rounds. Do not remove their skins or they will disintegrate in the stew. Add the green plantains to the simmering stew. After about 15 minutes, add the semiripe plantains. After another 15 minutes, add the ripe plantains and let them simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Serve hot in soup plates or, cocido-style, with the meats, vegetables, and broth in separate dishes. (Each diner removes the skin from the semi-ripe plantains themselves).
CREOLE PORK STEW
This is a recipe I found on the internet and it was different than my usual method of making stew. I never used tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, sage, oregano or bay leaves in any of my stews so I decided to try this one out. Well, let me tell you no one could have been more pleased than I was after tasting this. This will be the recipe I use from now on when I make pork stew. Be sure not to leave your roux unattended - it must be stirred constantly so it doesn't burn. If you see black flecks it's burnt and the only thing you can do is throw it out and start over or it will have a very bitter taste. If you have trouble with burning you might want to lower your fire a bit and cook it over lower heat. If you're not familiar with andouille it is a very highly smoked and seasoned sausage that adds a tremendous amount of flavor. In fact, I was amazed at the difference in the taste of the gravy after I added the pork and andouille. If you do use andouille be careful not to add too much or it will overpower your dish. One link or 1/3 lb was plenty for this dish. You can use any type of pork - I had some boneless pork chops in the freezer so I just cubed those. I would recommend using a lean cut of pork as you don't want your stew to be too greasy. When pork loins (not tenderloins) go on sale this would be the perfect opportunity to make this dish. Naturally, living in South Louisiana, we serve this over rice and a big scoop of potato salad on the side finishes it off perfectly.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better in stews than starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes.
- Brown the potatoes before stewing: Browning the potatoes in a little oil or butter before adding them to the stew will give them a nice caramelized flavor and help them keep their shape.
- Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to potatoes, feel free to add other vegetables to your stew, such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, green beans, or corn.
- Season the stew well: Use a combination of herbs and spices to flavor your stew, such as thyme, rosemary, paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
- Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
- Serve the stew hot: Serve the stew immediately after it is finished cooking, while it is still hot and flavorful.
