Preparation:
1. Prepare the ingredients:
Peel and chop the onion and garlic cloves. Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into wedges. Slice the chorizo and blood sausages into rounds.
2. Sauté the meats:
Turn on the olla GM and select the «Sauté» function. Add the cured pork belly, beef shank, and pork knuckle to the pot. Sear the meats until browned on all sides. This will help to enhance the flavor of the stew. Remove the meats from the pot and set aside.

6. Cook under pressure:
Close the lid of the olla GM and select the «Pressure Cook» function. Set the cooking time to 30 minutes at high pressure. Make sure the pressure valve is in the sealed position.
7. Natural release and serve:
Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes. Carefully open the lid and check the tenderness of the meats and vegetables. If they are not fully cooked, you can continue cooking under pressure for an additional 5-10 minutes.
