PREPARATION

There are few meals more enjoyable on a cold winter’s night than a good stew – and a good Cuban stew ranks among the best. Also, it’s easy to make! All you need to do is soak some chick peas in water for a few hours and then rinse them in clean water. Put some water in a pan and bring it to the boil. Add the chick peas, some beef, a few chick bones, some salami and ham, and add in some bacon too. For the vegetables, put in some peppers, tomatoes, and onions. When the chick peas and meat are half cooked, put in all the rest of your ingredients and leave everything alone to simmer on a low heat until it is tender.

 

Cuban stew needs to be served in three stages: first you strain the broth (add bread, noodles or rice); secondly the vegetables, lastly the meat.
