Spanish Beef Stew

Estofado or Beef Stew is a great hearty meal to have on a cold winter’s day or evening as it will warm you through. It is important to keep the carrots reasonably large otherwise they will melt into the stew. Try to use potatoes that will stay in their chunks and not become powdery. I use food colouring but this is purely aesthetic so you don’t need to if you don’t want to.

Add the onion mix to the meat pot, add the white wine, stock and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and gently simmer this for about an hour and a half.
