Cover and let the juice of the meat come out. Add in 1 cup water to the meat let it boil.Lower heat to number 6 let it cook till water low then add Achoite mix.
Cover and let it boil for about 30 minutes.
Towards the end, the water is almost low again, add in the vinegar little at a time, Salt, Black Pepper. let it boil for 3 minutes. Then stir.
You may keep it open to boil towards the end so it can dry up a little and it will
thicken up. Take a spoon of the liquid and taste it. You may add in a little more of the vinegar or salt if you like, but the sauce should be on the vinegary side.
If sauce is thickening and drying, lower the heat and let it simmer and add in your frozen peas cook for 5 minutes then ready to eat with hot rice.
