🇵🇭BEEF & PORK BOWL IN MECHADO SAUCE WITH SWEET POTATO

HOW TO…….

👩‍🍳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.

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.

🇵🇭My CALLOS – EASY WAY of COOKING

👩‍🍳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.
