In a pressure cooker put about a pound of meaty bones (absolutely no idea how to translate whichever part of the cow they use - ask your butcher for advice! I've seen ribs used sometimes if you want something identifiable :D ) and a couple of (peeled) cloves of garlic. Add enough water to at least cover everything, preferably up to the "maximum" line in your pressure cooker.
Cook at pressure for at least 30 minutes. The longer you cook it, the more nutrients are released from the bones (and therefore the more flavour the liquid has, and the
When it's cooled enough to open (you can cheat and use the "quick release" method if you like) serve at least one piece of meat in each bowl and top up with the stock/broth/stew. Sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander, and possibly raw (!) grated onion, and salt.
This will serve several people, or fridge the leftovers and eat it within a week. If you want, you can take the meat off the bones and use it in lettuce wraps or salads (or, if you're allowed them, arepas), and keep the liquid as a soup base/hot drink.
You can obviously make this in a normal (non-pressure) pot, but in that case you'll have to cook it for a lot longer.
Traditionally you should add some whole, peeled potatoes to the pot too, but as I'm eating carefully this month I'm obviously not allowed to. Same goes for the bread on the side, but I wasn't going to eat that anyway!
