Olio

Ingredients

• 8 pounds beef
• 2 fine white cabbages
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• pepper
• salt
• 0.5 pound chorisa

Instructions

1. Put eight pounds of beef in sufficient water to cover it. When the water boils, remove the meat and skim off the fat. Return the meat to the stew-pan and add the two fine white cabbages, without any of the stalk or hard parts.
2. Season with pepper, salt, and a teaspoonful of white sugar. Let it simmer on a slow fire for about five hours.
3. About an hour before serving, add half a pound of chorisa, which greatly improves the flavor.
