PALAVER SAUCE

Typically, Palaver Sauce includes fresh beef, smoked pork or fish, and dark green leaves. In West Africa, these leaves might be "platto", "bologi," or bitter leaf. A good substitute is spinach. African natives coined "palaver" in the 19th century when European traders would parley or barter for goods. From "Classic International Recipes".**Although I rarely post recipes without trying them, in this case I did. I decided to make this today, and would like to suggest the following: I had 1 lb of stew meat, and 1 smoked pork hock was plenty...the smokey flavor was good with that, so I have reduced the pork hocks to 2 instead of 3. I used spinach, but really feel this could use a stronger green, like collards or kale. I'm adding this to the ingredient list. I've also added some garlic. I've tried to stay true to the African recipe, and feel I have done so..just made a few improvements. Add finishing salt if needed....depends on your pork hock and how salty it is!**

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine beef, pork hocks, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover; simmer about 50 minutes, or until the beef is just tender.
  • Remove pork hocks; cool slightly. Cut meat from the bones; discard the bones and return the meat to the Dutch oven.
  • In a large covered saucepan simmer the greens in a small amount of water for 5 minutes; drain well.
  • In a large skillet, cook onions, garlic, tomatoes, gingerroot, and ground red pepper in hot oil until the onion is tender but not brown.
  • Stir the onion mixture, drained spinach, and chopped eggs into the meat mixture. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • If desired, serve over hot cooked rice in soup bowls.
