Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
2 pounds fresh green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large Spanish onions, sliced
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 medium heads cabbage, quartered
soy sauce
1 cup white rice

Steps:

In a large stock pot, layer ground beef, green beans, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Finish with a layer of cabbage, then evenly drizzle soy sauce over top. Cover and cook over medium for 1 hour, or until cabbage is tender and meat is well done. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.
Meanwhile, rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold running water until no longer cloudy. Transfer to a medium saucepan and cover with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes, or until all liquid has evaporated. Serve over rice.

Tips:

Choose the right pot: Use a large pot that is big enough to accommodate all of the ingredients and allows for some room for expansion. A Dutch oven or a large stockpot is a good option.
Brown the meat: Browning the meat in a separate pan before adding it to the stew adds flavor and depth to the dish. Be sure to brown the meat in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use a variety of vegetables: Hawaiian stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some popular vegetables to include are potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers.
Add some tropical fruit: Tropical fruits, such as pineapple, mango, and papaya, add a unique sweetness and tang to Hawaiian stew. Be sure to add the fruit towards the end of the cooking time so that it doesn't overcook.
Season to taste: Hawaiian stew is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
Let the stew simmer: Hawaiian stew is best when it is allowed to simmer for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat, and it is also a great dish to serve on a cold day. With its combination of savory and sweet flavors, Hawaiian stew is sure to please everyone at the table.
