- 1 pound beef
- 1 pound chicken drumsticks
- extra virgin olive oil as needed
- 1 large can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 2 links chorizo optional
- 1 red pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 tomatoes peeled and chopped
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup white wine
- 2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
- 3 cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 pounds potatoes
Cover the chicken and beef with water and bring to a boil, then simmer until cooked through. Let the meat cool, then shred it.
Add a splash of olive oil to a large frying pan and set over medium heat. Add the shredded meat and garbanzos and cook until crispy. Set aside.
In the same oil, adding more if necessary, sauté the chopped onion, pepper, tomato, and garlic and cook until softened and sauce-like.
Add the chicken broth, white wine, smoked paprika, cloves, salt, pepper, and bay leaf and bring to a simmer.
Add the diced potatoes, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. (It's traditional to fry the potatoes separately, but this is a bit more healthy.)
Uncover after 15 minutes and continue simmering until the potatoes are cooked through. Enjoy!
- Use a mixture of shredded beef, chicken, and/or pork as desired.
- Feel free to simmer the stew for longer than 15 minutes before adding the potatoes if you have extra time.
