Step 3 : Once the meat is tender, pour more water (2 cups) and add all the vegetables except for the cilantro, mint, and celery

Step 4 : Remember that the cooking time for the vegetables is not the same; that's why you should place the yucca about 10 minutes before the other vegetables

Step 5 : After all the vegetables are tender, add the celery, mint leaves, and cilantro, adjust the salt if necessary

Step 6 : Cover the pot for two minutes so the leaves release their aroma and flavor
