Food Recipes: Asopado Stew

by: Joy

Categories: Beef, Dinner / Supper, Lunch, Main Dishes, Soup, Stew, Chili, etc.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs. soup bones or short ribs
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 tbsp. oregano
  • 2 cups rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 12 cups water
  • 1 tbsp. salt
  • Veggies of your choice: celery, carrots, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, etc.

Directions

Thaw meat. Mash one head of garlic with salt and oregano. Spread garlic evenly all over the soup bones or short ribs in a bowl and leave covered overnight in the fridge.

The following day, brown the soup bones or short ribs on the grill, being careful not to burn them. The object is not to cook them, but to infuse it with flavor. Meanwhile, in a big pot, add water and rice. Bring to a boil and add the soup bones or short ribs, onion and salt. Leave simmering on the stove for at least an hour and a half, adding more water as needed. Then, cut up and add desired vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are done. Add more salt if needed to taste.

WOW! I cannot believe how quickly this order arrived! I have ordered twice from your company, and both shipments have been sent in a very timely manner. However, this second shipment arrived to my home just 3 days after I ordered it----and that included a weekend! I am so pleased with the products I have received and the individualized packaging and labeling of the herbs. Quality! Additionally, I have emailed twice with questions and have received very prompt and helpful replies. I also wanted to comment regarding how much I appreciated all the wonderful information to be gleaned just by reading product descriptions and the articles on this website. I highly recommend this site to everyone! I have had nothing but positive experiences with this company. Thank you for making the path a little smoother for this new-to-herbs Momma!
