Ingredients

4-5 lb. roast (chuck)

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp whole cloves

1 tsp. whole allspice

1 tsp. whole cumin

4 bay leaves

black pepper

1 large onion - chopped

1 small clove garlic - crushed

1 small bottle sherry wine

1 can tomato sauce

8 sprigs fresh mint

salt to taste

1 loaf "day-old" french bread

Directions

Place meat in large stew pot, cover with water.

Add sherry wine and tomato sauce.

Tie whole spices in cheese cloth or put in tea-ball and place in pot. Add garlic, onion, salt and pepper.

Over medium heat, bring to slow simmer, reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 hours.

DO NOT BOIL!

Slice french bread and place in large deep bowl.

Place 2 sprigs of the mint on top of bread.

When meat is done (should pull apart with a fork) place in large bowl and top with remaining mint. Remove spice ball from liquid and pour over the sliced bread, creating a "soup".

(Spices may be adjusted according to personal preferences. Chopped or wedged cabbage is often added during last hour of cooking. Any type roast may be used.

Question: Not clear on how this is served. It sounds as if the meat is one one bowl and the bread-with-liquid is in another. Or is there one large bowl with layers of bread-mint-meat-mint-liquid? Thanks!

That looks really good to me! (My husband is always buying BEEF and I mostly like other things!) This will solve one Beef "problem" Thanks for the friend invitation. It will be fun to get your recipes! I don't have to cook this one to know it's going to be good.

This is a traditional Portugese disk that I grew up in the the central valley of California.
You place the bread in the bowl and sprinkle with cinnamom and mint, and then ladel the broth onto the bread creating additional layers to the top of the serving bowl. Some loose meat may be transfered with the broth, but the meat is normally served from a different bowl or from the cooking pot!
USE FRESH MINT SPRIGS for the BEST flavor!
