Thick beef stew

Directions

1. Fry the onion and beef until cooked and just turning golden. Add the red pepper strips and fry for another minute or so. At this point I would recommend transferring to another pan with a smaller base to as you will now be cooking a soup.

2. Add the tomatoes (and tomato puree, if using), garlic and locoto to taste. Season as necessary.

3. Then add water to double the volume of the stew. Bring to the boil.

4. Observing the required cooking time of the pasta, add the diced potato and then the pasta shapes as appropriate. Reduce the heat to simmer.

5. The pasta will most likely take longer to cook than normal as it will not be submerged during all of the cooking time.
