Remy eats (& cooks) Christmas eve dish...

My husband has this favorite dish, which we still haven't figured the actual name for!  You see, his grandfather from his dad's side, Grandfather Smith, was a sea captain.  While at sea in the Philippine islands, he encountered this tasty dish.  Grandfather Smith loved it so much that he had one of cooks from the ship learn the dish to recreate it for him.  So this recipe has been passed on to my father-in-law and onto my husband.  So for Christmas eve, we decided to make the dish and start a Christmas eve dinner tradition. It is easy to make, healthy and uberly delicious!

What you will need:

3 lbs of beef or pork ribs
1 large organic green pepper
1 large organic yellow onion
1 15oz can of organic diced tomatoes
1 15oz can of organic tomato sauce
1 15oz can of pineapple chunks in its juice (no syrup)
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

First, brown the sides of the meat in about a tablespoon of olive oil in a large dutch oven.  Then remove the meat and put aside.  Saute the onion and green pepper in the same dutch oven  with the oil and meat drippings.  Then place the meat back, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and pineapple chunks.  Place the dutch oven in the oven for about 2.5 hours at 325 F.  (FYI, this dish will work well in a slow cooker too!)  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Voila! ENJOY it with white rice or by itself!  Here's a picture of it when we removed it from the oven. Yummy in my tummy!!!
