One quart of water
Salt
Lime juice
Cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, ten cloves
One onion
a few tomatoes, parsley, thyme, sherry

Wash the meat well with salt and lime juice and put it into a quart of cold water; then add a stick of cinnamon, a large onion, a few tomatoes, some parsley, thyme, herbs and pepper.
Stew gently for three hours, adding water now and then if it gets too low. About quarter of an hour, before serving, mix tablespoonful of flour smoothly with a little water, sufficient liquid to pour into the pot to thicken the stew. Stir. At the last minute put in a dessertspoonful of sauce and half a glass of sherry; mix well and garnish with slices of lime. Serve with a cut lime to squeeze over the meat.
