Papis
Papis hails from the large southern Philippine island of Mindanao, where it is a popular everyday meal. The hearty stew features beef tendons and shanks, complemented by the flavors of pork and beans. Like many Philippine dishes, papis utilizes the stove top exclusively, with various ingredients being added at specific times to maximize the flavor. Recipe Servings: Serves 4–6
