Calories: 635.16kcal
Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- 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.
