Litid Bulalo, Beef Tendon Soup

Litid Bulalo, Beef Tendon Soup. The best part of bulalo other than the bone marrow are tendons in the kneecap. At time we go to the extent of literary chew out the tendons from the bones. How would you like to have a bulalo soup with just kneecaps and tendons?

This may be unhealthy but once in a while it feels great to satisfy one’s graving. Occasionally beef bones strip off of the meat and noting left out but the tendons are being ignored at my favorite supermarket. Today I picked up a bag of the bones it time to satisfy that craving for Beef Tendon Soup.

Here is the recipe of my Litid Bulalo, Beef Tendon Soup.

Lower heat, cover and simmer/slow cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the beef tendons are tender. Add more water as necessary. Add in the sweet corn and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sweet corn are cooked. Season with salt to taste.
