Ingredients

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

Instructions

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