My take on this classic. Ingredients:
Stewing Beef (chuck)- about a kilo
2 x 400 gms choped tomato
just a 2-3 pcs of bacon- chopped
400 ml beef stock
sliced fennel (optional)
sliced carrots
chopped red onion
sliced shallots
new potatoes
olives- black and/or green
1 T sundried tomato
1 T of brown sugar
a squirt of tomato puree (optional)
1boquet garni
chopped fresh Rosemary- one sprig
fresh thyme- one sprig
zest of one orange
Meat is browned first over a stove then slow-cooked in the oven for 2 hrs and 20 min at 140c fan assisted.
