Method

  1. Cut the meat into pieces about 5 or 6 cm and brown them in hot fat.
  2. Add the salt, sweet paprika, pepper and finely chopped onion (reserve a little onion for the sofrito). Stir well.
  3. Add the crushed garlic cloves and cook for 2 or 3 minutes with these seasonings.
  4. Cover the meat with water and let it cook over high heat for 15 minutes to soften slightly.
  5. Remove the meat and reserve the remaining broth.
  6. In a large pot, sauté the chopped pepper with the rest of the onion. Add the tomato sauce and cook the sofrito for about 3 minutes.
  7. Add the partially tenderized meat and stir well.
  8. Add the peeled and cut potatoes, and cover everything with the wine and reserved broth.
  9. Add the raisins, olives and capers.
  10. Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and meat are to your liking.
