Happy Friday!
During the Long weekend my friends planned of a small get together as breather from all the english conversations and of course, catching up with one another. Since pork is hard to find in here, we have decided to have Bopis (beef lights cooked with vinegar and bell pepper), which I have never tried cooking.
I called my husband for help and since none of us have cooked it, he called his mom who's a great cook. :) Anyways, yeah I cooked Bopis for the very first time.
For those of you who's intrigued, cooking bopis is very easy. the downside of this meal is the chopping as it needs a LOT of arm work to get the right chop for the beef lights. If you opt to use chopper, you may do so but it might be too small.
Anyways, here's how to make bopis. You will need the following:
Garlic
Onion
bell pepper
Vinegar
Anatto oil (atsuete oil)
beef lights
beef lights stock
All of the above ingredients are chopped according to liking.
For the steps:
1. Boil the beef lights. My mother-in-law said that on the first boil of the beef lights, turn off the heat, throw the water and refill with a new one, this process will ensure that the beef is cleaned from all nasty stuff that's in the lights.
2. After boiling, let the lights cool and chop it.
3. On a pan, put some oil (or anatto oil) and saute garlic and onion and beef lights. Make sure that the oil is enough to cover the lights so as not to have it stick on your pan.
4. add the stock (if you forgot to keep the stock, you may use chicken or beef stock) . put the vinegar
5. when the vinegar is cooked, put the bell pepper. and
6. you can opt to have it dry or with a little of the stock. I prefer mine dry.
Bopis is usually seen in gatherings in the Philippines and some people often pair it with:
BEER!!!
Have a great weekend everybody!

| stock is almost dry |
 |
| color is the way it is because they do not have anatto seeds here. the taste is still the same. |
Bopis is usually seen in gatherings in the Philippines and some people often pair it with:
BEER!!!
 |
| no alcohol but has the bitter taste because of the malt. :) |
 |
| best beer in Indonesia |
Stay safe and happy and beautiful! :)
