Filipino Dinner recipe from the Wikibooks Cookbook.
1 pack (1.5–2 lb) oxtail 6 cups water ½ cup annatto seeds for coloring 3 eggplants 1 lb string beans 1 banana blossom 1 head garlic, chopped 1 onion, sliced ¼ cup cooking oil 1 cup ground peanuts 1 cup toasted ground rice
Boil the oxtail in water until tender. Soak annatto seeds in ½ cup water, set aside. Rub the seeds if necessary to bring out color. Cut string beans in 3-inch lengths. Cut eggplants diagonally, ½-inch thick. Cut banana blossoms diagonally, ½-inch thick. Parboil string beans, eggplants and banana blossoms, then set aside. Sauté garlic and onions in cooking oil. Take out the annatto seeds, add the water, and boil for 5 minutes. Stir in ground peanuts and ground rice. Bring to a boil, then add the oxtail and vegetables. Add more water if needed to have enough sauce; it should be thick and not watery. Add fish sauce to taste. Serve with steamed rice and shrimp paste (bagoong) on the side.
