Potato stew with minced meat and tomato passata
I strongly advise you to add sun-dried tomatoes to this stew, they will give a bright shade to this hearty winter stew.
Ingredients
Servings 5- 350 g ground beef (or whatever you like)
- 1 red pepper
- 1-2 bulbs
- 3 garlic cloves
- 8 pcs. potatoes
- 15 sun-dried tomatoes
- 400 ml stock
- 500 ml prepared tomato passata (I use MUTTI)
- dried thyme
- Bay leaf
- sugar (to taste)
- pepper, salt (to taste)
- 2 tbsp. l. butter
Cooking
Step 1
Mince fry for 1 tbsp. l. butter and transfer to a bowl. Onion and pepper cut into cubes, sun-dried tomatoes into strips, then fry everything in the remaining butter and combine with meat.
Step 2
Pour the broth over everything, add the passata and the garlic passed through the crusher. Stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat.
Step 3
Add bay leaf, thyme to taste and 1 tsp. or more sugar to balance the acidity in the passat. Add salt and pepper.
Step 4
Simmer for 5 minutes. Put the diced potatoes to the meat, cover and simmer, stirring, for about 20-30 minutes until tender (potatoes take a long time to cook in an acidic environment). If you want a thicker sauce, remove the lid and cook without it for a while.
