This recipe was submitted for play in ZWT8 – Spain/Portugal. It is a recipe by Ana Patuleia Ortins, who states: this recipe is adapted from Patrick Fish in South Africa. I have had many requests for this Portuguese inspired African beef stew which is similar to the Azorean braised beef.

  • 3
    Cook 1 minute until it becomes aromatic, then return the meat to the pot, along with the olives.
  • 4
    Pour in the wine or combination so that it just comes over the meat.
  • 5
    Bring to a boil over medium -high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover and simmer for 1 hour.
  • 6
    Add the seasoning of salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the olives will add salt as well.
  • 7
    Mix the flour with cold water, making a slurry and stir into the pan, cover and simmer for 1/2 - 1 hour more, until very tender.
  • 8
    This dish is usually served with fried potatoes and chunks of bread for dipping in the sauce.
