My husband is a picky eater.As an american, he used to eat instant food from the box or in can. When I introduced him to Filipino way of cooking from scratch he was amazed and couldn't believe it. For us it is normal but for him or for the Americans it is a big deal. To cook like a chef or as he was always saying "a gourmet chef" is something. His tongue is not familiar with our food so I tried so much to cook it according to his taste but in a Filipino way. Humba is one of his favorite dish. I used beef instead of pork for this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 kilo beef - cut into small pieces or slice.
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 sprig oregano
- 2 bay leaf
- 2 tbsp black beans or tausi ( adjust the salt if you used salted black beans)
- 2 tbsp fat or cooking oil.
- salt and pepper to taste.
- 2 tbsp white wine(optional)
Mix all the ingredients except black beans and cook until beef is tender. Add more water if needed. Lastly, add the tausi/black beans.Season to taste. Serve hot.
