Rib and Potato Stew (Estofado de Costillas con Patatas)

Stews, they are cooked for a long time, and they have the great quality of tenderizing meats that otherwise will be tough. This is the case with this dish that after a 3 hour cooking process, the meat falls from the bone.




Ingredients:


2 Pounds of Ribs
6-7 Potatoes Cut in Quarters
2 Onions
1 Large Garlic Head 
1 Green Pepper
2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
4 Cups Chicken Stock, to cover the pot


In a pan put olive oil, add the ribs, and brown each side to sear the meat. Take them from the pan and put them aside. When you are done, you can start the stew. In a deep pan add 1 tablespoon olive oil, add the onions, garlic, and pepper. Cook it for about 10 minutes, add the ribs, and the smoked paprika. Stirring together very quickly, add the potatoes. Finally, add the chicken stock. Let it simmer for about 2 hours. At this point you can add the peas and let it cook for about an hour, or when the potatoes are done and the ribs fall from their bone.
