Chamorro Estufao Recipes

CHAMORRO ESTUFAO

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, except the oil and water. Let marinade for at least a couple of hours. If you don't have time to let it marinade, it'll be alright to cook it right away. But the flavor is more intense when you let it marinade for a few hours.
• When you're ready to cook, heat the oil in a large pot and remove meat from marinade and add to pot. Cook to brown slightly. Add the water to leftover marinade and pour over the meat. Cover and let cook on medium heat about 45 minutes or until the meat is tender.
• If you don't want too much sauce left, remove the lid during the last 10 minutes of cooking; otherwise continue cooking with the lid on for more sauce.
• Variation: Add 2 whole bay leaves.
• Variation: Add 2" piece crushed fresh ginger.
• Or, just add them all. Serve this dish with white rice and fina'dene, ENJOY!

CHICKEN ESTUFAO

Steps:

• Combine chicken, garlic, onion, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Remove chicken, reserving liquid.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat and add soy sauce, water, and reserved liquid. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until chicken is falling off the bones.

ROSE'S BABY BACK RIBS ESTUFAO

Steps:

• Season the ribs liberally with kosher salt, then place the ribs in single layer in a large baking dish.
• Combine the peppercorns and garlic in a small bowl and mash together with a spoon to form a coarse paste. Rub the pepper and garlic paste onto the ribs.
• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and jalapeno. Pour this mixture over the ribs, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning ribs halfway through marinating.
• When ribs are ready to cook, transfer the ribs and marinade to a large heavy pan. Bring the mixture and the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
• Serve over steamed rice.
