Chop vegetables.Heat oil in a well-seasoned iron pot. Sizzle the
vegetables in the oil a little, then add meat and brown. Stir in the
remaining ingredients, and cover with about one inch of water. Season
to taste with salt and pepper.Let it bubble slowly three to four
hours. Skim the grease after it's cooked two hours and taste again to
adjust the seasoning.
