Ingredients:
- 1,000g / 2.2 lbs beef, bone-in (I used chuck shoulder)
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 4 bay leaves
- 1-2 cups of water, or enough to cover the meat
Method:
- Season the meat with salt and pepper, and place it in the slow cooker; add bay leaves and water and cook on high for 4–5 hours.
- Check on the meat after 4 hours. If it falls off the bone easily, it’s about done. If it’s still clinging to the bone, give it some more time.
- When cooked, remove the meat from the slow cooker and let it cool to room temperature.
- Using a mortar and pestle, pound the meat down until it resembles pulled or shredded beef. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you can pull the meat apart with two forks until it’s fully shredded.
How to make pap
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup white cornmeal
- 2 tsp butter
Method:
In a large saucepan, bring the water and the salt to a boil. Add the cornmeal and cover. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the cornmeal every 5 minutes, as it cooks. After 30 minutes of cooking, add the butter and stir in until fully melted. Turn off the heat and put the lid on the pot to let the pap stiffen as it cools.
