Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef, lamb, or chicken (with bones)
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 medium potatoes (cubed)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 3 ounces tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • ½ tablespoon paprika powder

Instructions

  • Slice meat into 3" pieces and rinse well. Place in a six-quart Dutch oven and cover with 5 cups of water.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, covered. Remove meat from the pot, strain, and reserve the remaining broth.
  • Rinse the pot, dry, then add the vegetable oil. Fry the cubed potatoes until golden. Add the onion, and garlic and cook for a few minutes. 
  • Return meat to the pot and sprinkle with salt, curry, paprika, and brown meat for a few minutes.
  • Dissolve the tomato paste in 4 cups of reserved broth. If necessary, add more water to equal 4 cups. Pour liquid over the meat and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Store leftover stew in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, store the potato stew in the freezer for up 3 months.
  • Another way to enjoy this delicious stew is with pita bread, but it's filling enough to eat as is!
