Ingredients

This is a cheap and very good dinner. I think the best result is when you use a high ribs of beef and let it cook tender. It is of course possible to make the same recipe with minced meat or beef mince. This is a dish that will cook for a while, so when I first make this I like to make 2-3 dinners at a time and freeze the rest. This is a classic dish with a lot of flavor.

Step 1

Start by cutting the high ribs into small cubes. Remove tendons and areas where there is only fat. Fry the meat on high heat in oil so it gets a nice roasting crust and add to the side. When you have finished frying the meat, add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to the hot pan. Let this simmer a bit before boiling out the pan with 2 dl red wine. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of sugar together with the red wine and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

Step 2

Cut up all the vegetables and fry shiny in a large saucepan, about 5 -10 minutes on medium heat. Add the meat, tomato puree "batter", the canned tomatoes, the cherry tomatoes, the white beans, 2 tablespoons of cummin and the bull broth.

Step 3

Now let it simmer on low heat for about 3 hours. Stir gently occasionally with a spatula. During this time, the meat will become extremely tender and all the other flavors "melt together". Season with salt and possibly a little more chili if you want a stronger result. I like best to serve this with rice.

Step 4

Smak alltid til med litt ekstra salt og pepper hvis ønskelig. Hell over i en god skål og server enten med ris eller godt brød. Jeg anbefaler alltid å lage en ekstra stor porsjon når man lager gryteretter som dette. Da kan du porsjonere og fryse ned så du har noen gode hjemmelagde middager i fryseren til senere. Lykke til. Jeg har også laget en video av prosessen du kan sjekke ut her.
