well I've never shared this yet... so I might as well start by sharing it with 24,000 people!

Our family recipe (and I bet it's what you are looking for!) My brother and I have hosted some dandy booya parties and everybody raves over it. They ask for the reipe and we just grin... below is the recipe, add to it as you see fit... we never follow it verbatum, there always seems to be a little variation, but it more or less follows this as the foundation.

2 gallons water in a LARGE stock pot

5-6 pounds fat free beef roast - boil till tender, then shred

3-4 pounds Chicken - boil, cool, cut off bone in chunks or shred

To the stock add:

2 - lbs Onion diced large

1 - head (stalk) of celery chopped

1 - 2lb. can of chopped tomatos

1 - pound of carrots chopped

1 - 2lb bag of mixed vegetables

1 - bag of frozen lima beans

1 - bag frozen green beans

1 - bag frozen yellow beans

1 - green pepper diced fine

5-6 potatoes diced

1 or 2 - tblsp. Tabascco

2 tblsp. worchestershire sauce

1 small rutabega diced

1 can V8 juice

whatever seasonings you like. I use salt - pepper - garlic powder and some Emmerils essence. Don't over do the seasonings. You can add more while it's cooking. just taste it as it cooks and add more if needed.

add shredded meat added back in

Bring back to boil while stirring, reduce heat and cook on low for at least 4 hours. I usually cook mine for 8-10 hours. Stir occassionally. Serve with hot sauce (for those who like it spicey) and oyster crackers and garlic bread.

I usually use wild game in mine. I'll add a small beef roast and 1 whole chicken to 5 lbs of wild game. Don't worry what you use, it all tastes good in there!

This makes a lot of booya. I fed a huge group (20?) that were pulling docks this fall and still had 1 1/2 gallons left. PERFECT! leftovers! Freeze them... it's just as good as the 1st time serving it. I make mine on the turkey fryer with a Big/Tall stainless steel pot.

Give this a try and let me know if it's what you were thinking of.

Good Luck!

To make booya, you wait for fall and clean out your freezer before hunting season starts. Grab all those leftover creatures you've been promising to cook, the ducks and geese and venison and beef roasts. Throw everything in a really big pot with some water, add some veggies and tomatoes, cook it for a few days and invite friends that will bring the beer. That's pretty much what my grandma did, except she invited family, who always has beer.

sounds good! i thought that ox tails were a main

ingredient? maybe the wild game would give it the taste.

seems booya recipes are top secret with everyone!

thanks for sharing, i will try it.

Yeah we usually have A beer when we cook ours too!

BBQ - try adding one piece of smoked meat... I usually throw in a smoked pheasant or duck or chicken... you get the idea... really good booya is cooked on an open wood fire and has a slight smokey flavor... I cheat!

Have fun!

Good Luck!
