👩🍳Beef and pork bowl in Mechado sauce. Topped on rice. I got this Mechado sauce product of UFC from Manila to try. Hubby loves the outcome of the sauce with the mixture of beef and pork meat. I added sweet potato instead of potato. Something different from the usual cooking in Filipino cuisine. Maybe you could give it a try, just sharing this new experiment directly from my kitchen. With yellow bell pepper, red beans, and pickled small cucumber. Another new week, it’s Monday the 12th of December 2022. Yesterday was the 3rd Advent Sunday. Have a try I am sure you will love it.
YOU NEED…….
I mix:
1kilo beef meat and pork meat
1 can of Red Kidney Beans or more if you feel like
👩🍳Next to pork, beef is one of the most popular types of meat in European cuisine. Coming from the Philippines, beef quickly conquered my kitchen. In Austria in particular, beef cuisine has undergone a special development and has therefore also acquired a unique character. A number of dishes with beef can be traced back to Austrian cuisine. But other countries have many well-known beef recipes far beyond. Today’s recipe is nothing special, it’s just thinly sliced beef with broccoli and champignon seasoned with mushroom sauce.

👩🍳Tripe is low in calories and contains little fat. A delicacy in the Philippines but also Saxony, a national soup in CSSR and Poland, popular in southern Germany and Austria. Tripe was discovered for human consumption I think all over the world. Tripe soup is a delicacy for some, but not worth trying for others. It contains a lot of good things, is rich in protein, and is very filling. In the winter months, it reduces the risk of illnesses such as flu 😷 and cold 🤧 and accelerates the healing process.
YOU NEED…….
300g Beef Tripe
2tbsps. Olive Oil
2tbsps. Tomato Paste
1tsp. Paprika Powder
1 Onion
4 cloves of Garlic
half a tsp. Marjoram
some Water or Broth
1 Bell Pepper
1tbsp. Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix product from the Philippines
👩🍳Short ribs are popular in many international cuisines. The moderately streaky meat is used for stews such as goulash and as boiled meat for stews, soups, and broths. Just like here, I cooked it with Sotanghon or glass noodles. With radish, some Chinese greens, and scallions, seasoned with soy sauce and fish sauce (Patis). Served with rice for hubby and my smoothie with dragon fruit, banana, and pineapple.
👩🍳Use a spoonful or two when cooking protein, vegetables and grains as all-purpose seasoning instead of salty dried spice blends. Or use the whole jar as a recipe starter for 4-8 servings. I added carrot, celery, potato and sweet potato. Before serving add chopped parsley adjust the taste with salt if necessary. Because we are Filipino served with rice, tonight’s dinner is for two. For my smoothie melon, spinach, banana and soy milk. No sugar added.
👩🏻🍳Mango lassi with ripe mangoes and my beef bones soup with ripe banana, turnip cabbage and carrot. Sunday soup at home. Hubby and I enjoyed dinner with this. He ate with white rice, as usual, for me just soup and vegetables but the mango lassi make complete our dinner. Happy prepping everyone.
👩🍳My homemade Shawarma as viand or wrap using flatbread with Tahini sauce. Prepared according to our preferences. With sliced tomato and pickled small cucumbers. Shawarma is a meat dish in Arabic cuisine that has spread beyond the Middle East to Europe and other parts of the world. It is mainly consumed in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and Israel. This Recipe Yields for 6 Wraps or more but I made only 2 Wraps and the rest we ate it as viand served with rice.

👩🍳This is all about my homemade SZECHUAN SAUCE which is my first time to try this. I think I have to repeat because something is still missing with the taste. But anyway, it goes well with today’s lunch with fried tofu, sliced cucumber and beef minute steak. The sauce makes a delightful change to the whole thing. Sauces are a delightful change, go well with any main course and are a touch on every plate. Sauces recipes go well with vegetables and fruits, but also for hearty fish and meat dishes. Making small but fine flavor refiners are easy and super fast in most cases. Sauces can be served with almost all dishes and are the icing on the cake for many gourmets and connoisseurs – here you will find the best sauce recipes. Served with cucumber and brown rice.
👩🍳Mongolian beef is a dish served in Chinese restaurants and is made from sliced beef, typically a flank steak, usually made from onions. I used strip loin steak added carrot, scallions and bell pepper. For the sauce soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Served with white rice.

👩🍳My Callos today is made out of beef meat wad ham, beef tripe, Sausage-Käsekrainer (a variety of sausage in german), carrot, green bell pepper, black olive and with tomato paste. A legacy from the Spanish colonial era, this savoury stew of ox tripe and tail is flavored with spicy chorizo de Bilbao and traditionally served with olives. The chorizo de Bilbao or Chinese chorizo is a major factor. chorizo de Bilbao, or blood sausage, is a spicy sausage packed in paprika flavored lard. In the Philippines, they are available canned or frozen. A bit expensive, but the flavor it gives a dish is just wonderful. Highly spiced, one chorizo de Bilbao is enough for this recipe. This what makes Callos special and why is it different from other beef stews!
Callos the easy way of cooking
Callos known also in the culinary world as offal, the term actually comes from the corruption of ‘off-fall’ to refer to the refuse meat that are cut away when the carcass is dressed. But despite its inedible sound, offal has always played a fundamental role in the diets of populations living in times of distress. Would consider these cheap ingredients in their main dish or party fare, offal is nearly a whole class of food in itself because they have much to offer nutritionally, on top of its unique delicious flavor. Contrary to a common disgust for these dishes due to cultural unfamiliarity and sanitary concerns, these offal items are generally very well cleaned when offered in the marketplace.
