Ingredients:

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 lg. green bell peppers, seeded and sliced
1 md. size onion, sliced and separated into rings
6 lg. garlic cloves, finely chopped
2-1/4 lb. boneless stew beef, trimmed of large pieces of fat and cut into irregular shapes
1-1/4 lb. boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. freshly ground cloves
1 bay leaf
1 good size pinch of saffron threads, crumbled in a mortar
1 cup dry white wine

Directions:

Put the olive oil, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and beef in the stew pot, in that order. Layer the potatoes on top of the beef. Add the salt, pepper, cloves, bay leaf, and saffron. Pour the wine over and add enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the meat is very tender, about 2 hours. Serve immediately

Real Stew

Comments from olga :

The food of La Mancha is hearty, and this stew is simplicity itself. It is sometimes called tonjunto, meaning “everything is thrown all together.” Serve with crusty bread.
