Cozido Verde (Green Cozido)

Prepare the Meats

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork loin cubes on all sides. Remove from pot and set aside.
2. Add the chicken pieces to the same pot and sear until lightly browned. Remove and set aside with the pork.

Build the Stew Base

1. Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Return the browned pork and chicken to the pot. Add the broth, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes, allowing the meats to tenderize.

Add Vegetables and Greens

1. Add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
2. Stir in the kale and spinach. Cook for about 5-10 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tender.
3. Add the peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Finish and Serve

1. Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
2. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs just before serving.
3. Ladle the Cozido Verde into bowls, ensuring each serving has a good portion of meats and vegetables.
