  • allspice berries
  • garlic

Notes

Majority of time is oven
Trust the recipe -- as written, it is quite good. Make sure to get good Spanish chorizo -- it is central to the flavor. Don't use boneless short rib: it dries out in this preparation.

Justin du Coeur (jducoeur) -- Portuguese Style Beef Stew (Easiest Ever):Review
-- Only 2/3 as good as the Catalan stew -- but less than 1/4 the effort. Very easy to prepare.
