  Cook meat, 1 clove of garlic and 1 onion together. Mix all other
  ingredients except 1 Tbslpsn of cumin together and pour over meat in
  a  large pot. Bring slowly to a boil and stir continously until
  boiling. Cook  at a boil for 10 minutes and then lower heat to Medium
  Low for 15 minutes  stirring several times. Lower heat again to simmer
  and cook for 1.5 -2  hours stiurring frequently. Add remaining cumin
  after cooking for 1 hour.  You may make this hotter by gashing the side
  sof the Jalapeno peppers and  by adding more of them. This recipe when
  served over rice with fresh,  piping hot cornbread is hard to beat! It
  is excellent when served over  scrambled eggs as well. Serves 6-8
  persons.
