Steps

1 hour

1

Fill a pressure cooker a little less than halfway with water. Add the bone, salt to taste, chopped green onion, and corn kernels. Cover and cook over medium heat.
2

Slice the plantain into rounds about 3/4 inch thick (2 cm). Cook in an air fryer or in a skillet with oil at 350°F (180°C) for 8 minutes, flip, and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove and flatten each piece with a board or plate. Set aside.
3

After 20 minutes, open the pressure cooker and add the carrot, pumpkin, thyme, and oregano to taste. Cover and cook over medium heat for another 10 minutes.
4

Add the potatoes, the flattened plantain (patacón, not yet fried a second time), and cumin. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust salt if needed. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro in each bowl.
