Cacoila (Portuguese) Recipe

ingredients

5 pounds bottom round beef, cut into 2 to 3-inches pieces
OR
5 pounds 2-inch thick chuck roast with bone-in
1/2 stick butter
3 meaty shin bones, about 2 1/2 pounds each
1 pound salt pork
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
3 large cloves garlic or taste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 cinnamon stick (2-inch)
6 balls Jamaican allspice
2 teaspoons coarse salt or to taste
2 small malegueta chili peppers
OR
2 pinches dried crushed red pepper

directions

Place all the ingredients in a deep heavy pot, large enough to accommodate all. Pour in enough cold water to come up 3/4 the side of the ingredients. Cover tightly and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, until the meat is fork tender and nearly falling off the bone.

Serve with sauteed greens and boiled potatoes.
