Mizoram Arnei Beef Pork Boiled Mixed Mizo Preparation

Method

1. 1

   Place beef and pork pieces together in a heavy pot with 2.5 cups cold water.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil. Skim all foam from the surface thoroughly.

3. 3

   Add crushed garlic, sliced ginger, slit green chillies, turmeric and lemongrass if using.

4. 4

   Reduce to medium. Simmer covered for 35 to 40 minutes until both meats are completely tender.

5. 5

   Beef takes longer than pork — check both for tenderness.

6. 6

   In the last 10 minutes remove lid to concentrate the broth slightly.

7. 7

   Season with salt. The broth should be clear, fragrant and deeply savoury.

8. 8

   Garnish with coriander and spring onion. Serve with steamed rice, the broth poured generously over everything.
