Drescription

Filipino boiled beef soup with vegetables, simple yet flavorful, served hot with rice for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 pounds beef short ribs 1 quart water
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, crushed
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 beef bouillon cubes
  • 2 carrots, cut in chunks 2 stalks celery, quartered
  • 1 chayote squash, peeled and quartered
  • 2 potatoes, quartered salt to taste
  • 1/4 head cabbage, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Place the beef ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain; discard the cooking water (the ribs will not be fully cooked).
  2. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the 1 quart water, peppercorns, onions, and beef bouillon. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
  3. Skim any fat floating on the surface. Stir in the carrots, celery, chayote, and potatoes; cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Add cabbage and cook an additional 5 minutes.

Hot Honey Chicken & Pineapple Kebabs

These grilled chicken kebabs are sweet and hot thanks to hot honey, juicy chunks of pineapple and the grill itself, which caramelizes the bell peppers, onion and chicken pieces to smoky perfection. Because the glaze (and the pineapple) are sweet, the kebabs may burn if left in one spot for too long. Be sure to move them from any hot spots on the grill and brush on the glaze in only the last couple of minutes on the grill.
