Slow Cooked Spanish Stew

This Spanish style stew is something I've been making for years and adding bits to tweak it and make it tastier. If I do any Spanish cooking it evokes memories of my Nan who was from Gibraltar. It's so vibrant and flavourful and has a beautiful rich red colour. There's so much veg in this that you can simply remove the chicken and swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock if you wish to create a vegetarian version. :) Also you can cook this in a slow cooker instead, but you may need to add less water. It's a truly comforting and homely dish, that you'll want to cook again and again.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a high heat. Once warmed add the chicken pieces and brown off a little. Add the paprika, cumin and cinnamon. Stir so it coats the chicken. Add the chorizo, celery, onions, carrot, potatoes and tomatoes. Fry gently for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add around 200ml of water. Turn the heat down and bring to a simmer.
- 2
Add the drained chickpeas, tinned tomatoes, chicken stock cube and dried Thyme. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Allow to simmer for around 10-15 minutes with a lid on.
- 3
Next add in the bell pepper and the tomato paste plus the sugar. Stir once more to combine. Add a little more water as the sauce reduces and thickens. Simmer on a very low heat with the lid on for around 2 hours, ensuring it doesn't reduce too much. Simply add a little bit of water if you feel it needs to be less thick.

At the end add in the olives and spinach and season with a couple more cracks of black pepper. Allow the spinach to gently wilt down. Stir the stew again to incorporate everything together.

Serve up after around another 40-60 mins of gentle simmering. This stew is amazing on its own or served up with some buttered crusty bread on the side for dunking. Enjoy! :)

Easy Beef Stew Easy Beef Stew
This is a recipe for cold winter days for my married older brother and his wife who are busy with work and child rearing. This warm stew is nutritious, prevents colds, and has plenty of carrots.If you really sear the meat well at first before adding the wine, it ends up delicious. I usually add mushrooms and potatoes when I make it, but when I make it to freeze I leave out the potatoes. When adding potatoes, add them in during Step 5 as you add the can of demi-glace sauce. For 4 servings. Recipe by Mawaru7 cookpad.japan -
