Mixed Meat Stew

Mixed Meat Stew

The Goan Mixed Meat Stew, is something of a delicacy and generally makes it way to the table on occasions. The recipe takes a good amount of kitchen time and is also extremely heavy on the stomach. A good siesta is recommended post the goan stew with rice 🙂 I do apologize for the camera I used was not mine, but my sisters, it doesn’t seem to reprodce colors quite accurately, though it made my job of pictures in low light very easy.

Method

With the shortage of time, we did a quick cook recipe, but the slow cooking correct method will be provided at the end of the post.

chopped beef

Cut and wash the meat seperately, you can start off with the beef, as it would take the longest time required, we would cook it first.

add salt and cook the beef

Apply Salt and add the beef into the pressure cooker with some water to the pressure cooker, do not close the cooker. While this is on the fire you can chop the other meats.

chop the remaining meat

Clyde, you are such a darling to post such recipes. I did the long way (don't know why u say it is long, was pretty fast for me). It turned out so fabulous, just like the ones we used to eat at the goan weddings back in the 90's.

Thanks mate, keep it going, we love it.

Oh thank you soo much, i have been looking all over for this recipe.
So basically for this dish, you only have to use whole spices and here's me thinking that it needed ground masala. This is so easy.
(how many whistles did you give the beef?)
