directions

  • Start by heating the olive oil in a large saucepan.
  • When hot, sauté the onions, garlic and green pepper in the pot for 2-3 minutes.
  • Next add the bacon and mushrooms and sauté for another couple minutes.
  • Add the potatoes to the mix and pour over the canned tomatoes.
  • Also add one can of water and the wine.
  • Make a couple cuts in the dried pepper, then submerge the pepper in the stew or mix in the crushed chillies.
  • Stir in the paprika as well as some black pepper and a bit of salt, if desired.
  • Make sure the stew is well mixed, then cover and leave to simmer over a low heat for around 20 minutes or until the potatoes are done.
  • When the potatoes are done, dissolve the cornflour in a tiny bit of water then pour into the stew.
  • Let the stew simmer for another couple minutes.
  • Cover, turn off the heat and and leave for five minutes.
  • Now you can either repeat the process, adding a bit more cornflour if you want it thicker, or serve if you are happy with the consistency of the sauce.
  • Don't forget some nice crusty bread to mop up the juices with!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
