Unstuffed peppers.
 

This is not my recipe. I saw a recipe posted elsewhere for unstuffed
peppers that contained rice. It sounded really good! We all love stuffed
peppers but they are hard to eat, IMO and Angela and my husband won't eat
the peppers. But they like the flavor the peppers give. I think they would
eat this though because they will eat other things that have peppers mixed
in. The following recipe is low carb. No rice in it. I would probably add
a small amount of rice when making it for us. But... I don't know what
beef soup base is. Does anyone know? Hopefully we're not allergic to it.
I do have some tubes of concentrate that when mixed with water will make a
broth. Do you think this would work? Or is it a powder of some sort? Or
could I do without it?

Thanks. Oh, here's the recipe:

My first father in law used to have what was called beef tea. It was
basically some topside steak stewed slowly in a fair bit of water with a
bit of salt. He drank it as he wouldn't eat meat.

I have seen recipes for that in really old cookbooks. Supposed to be good
for people who are ill.

beef soup base in the resto trade is a powder you can look at it at costco
sams and some upscale places like whole foods... it is just a flavor thing
broth and concentrate might work just fine... i didn't look at the recipe.
no time this morning.

Well crud. If a powder it probably has wheat in it. Restaurant soup always
has wheat in it.

You could alwasy use a beef buillion or a canned beef stock or home made
beef stock, which you cna freeze for future use too. or just skip it,
assing, perhaps a bit more salt, as these are generally fairly salty.

From a cookbook from 1877



Very strong Beef Tea.—(This tea contains every nutritious element of the
beef.)—Cut two pounds of lean beef into small dice, put it into a
covered jar without water, and place it in a moderate[Pg 130] oven for
four hours, then strain off the gravy, and dilute it to the desired
strength with boiling water.

Beef Tea.—(A quick preparation for immediate use.)—Chop one pound of
lean beef fine, put it into a bowl, and cover it with cold water; let it
stand for fifteen or twenty minutes, and then pour both beef and liquid
into a sauce-pan, and place them over the fire to boil from fifteen to
thirty minutes as time will permit; then strain off the liquid, season
it slightly, and serve it at once.

Okay. Thanks!

Unstuffed peppers.
 

and i was thinking after i sent that last message, if you actually get the
good base, goya brand iirc, you might not find wheat but you might be more
apt to find soy, and iirc that is also an issue, so if you do decide to look
be very careful as resto ingrs, often have different names for the same
things, "natural flavor enhancers" is usually msg. Lee

Goya is not safe for people with food allergies but I can't remember why.
Peanuts, maybe. I think it is made on shared equipment.

i remebered there was an issue but wasn't sure which, one of my classes
talked about how to minimize/elimate allergins that were easily done away
with and what one could substitute, Lee

I wonder why they don't say to put the beef in a cold pot and cover it
with cold water and let it stand.

Why dirty an extra bowl?
