Ingredients
- 4 fresh chorizo sausages
- 1 ½ lbs potatoes for mash (675 g)
- 3 large garlic cloves chopped
- 3 medium fresh tomatoes
- ½ small onion chopped
- 1 ½ cup beef stock (360 ml)
- 10 black olives
- ¼ tsp saffron powder
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup whole milk (80 ml)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Add the chopped garlic (keep a tablespoon aside for the mash) and onion to a large and high pan. Add the sausages, black olives and olive oil. Then chop the tomatoes roughly and add them to the pan also.
-
Pour in the beef stock and season with a good dash of pepper and a pinch of salt.
-
Put a lid on the pan and place it over high heat until boiling. Then turn the heat lower to medium and cook the stew for an hour until smooth. Check regularly. Add extra beef stock or water if necessary.
-
In the meantime peel the potatoes and chop them up. Add the remaining garlic. Boil or steam the potatoes for 20 minutes until tender.
-
Drain the potatoes if you cooked them. Then add the (steamed) potatoes and saffron powder, milk or cream, butter and a pinch of pepper and salt to a large saucepan.
-
Mash the potatoes until creamy. Add extra milk or cream if necessary. Then let the mash rest because the saffron flavor has to develop. Check the seasoning of the stew and add extra pepper or salt to taste if necessary.
-
Scoop the saffron mash onto deep plates and then top with the sausages and the tomato sauce. Serve hot.
