Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Beef chuck
- 1 lb Pork ribs
- 1/2 lb Chouriço sausage
- 1/2 lb Blood sausage
- 1 head Cabbage
- 4 Potatoes
- 4 Carrots
- 2 Turnips
- 1 cup Rice
Steps
- Simmer the beef and pork in salted water 60 minutes, skimming well, until nearly tender.
- Add the sausages, carrots, and turnips; cook 20 minutes more.
- Nestle in the cabbage wedges and potatoes; simmer 20 minutes until everything yields.
- Cook the rice separately in ladles of the rich broth — never in the pot, which clouds it.
- Arrange the meats sliced on a platter with the vegetables around; serve the broth first as a soup.
- This is Sunday lunch as a ceremony; leftovers become the next day roast hash.
