Ingredients


  • 2tbsp olive oil

  • 75g pancetta (I used smoked streaky bacon)

  • 1 large Spanish onion, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 250g belly pork, cut into 1cm cubes (skin left on)

  • 700g lean beef (I used skirt), cut into 1cm cubes

  • 3 tbsp Mexican chili powder (due to Torrington's lack of a Mexican deli I used a much smaller quantity of hot chili powder)

  • 1 tsp powdered cumin

  • 1 tbsp flour

  • 2 bay leaves

  • salt

  • 1 lemon, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 450 ml beef stock

  • 300ml red wine




Recipe


  1. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole, and fry the bacon gently until crisp.

  2. Add the onions and garlic and fry until golden.

  3. Remove everything to a bowl.

  4. Put the meat in and brown all over.

  5. Add chili powder and cumin and cook gently for a couple of minutes.

  6. Return the onions etc. and add the flour.

  7. Cook for about a minute.

  8. Add everything else, bring to a simmer and stew gently for a couple of hours.




Comments

If you want kidney beans included then add previously cooked ones to warm through at the end.
