of garlic and 1 onion together. Mix all other ingredients except, 1 Tbslpsn
of cumin, together and pour over meat in a large pot. Bring slowly to a
boil and stir continously until boiling. Cook at a boil for 10 minutes and
then lower heat to Medium Low for 15 minutes stirring several times. Lower

remaining cumin after cooking for 1 hour. You may make this hotter by
gashing the sides of the Jalapeno peppers and by adding more of them. This
recipe when served over rice with fresh, piping hot cornbread is hard to
