Spicy ajiaco stew made with leftover roast beef, sweet red peppers, and creamy baby potatoes in a tantalizing broth.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup thickly sliced shallots
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1.5 teaspoons chipotle chile powder, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3 cups cubed cooked roast beef
  • 1 pound baby red potatoes, cut in half
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 quart beef broth
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven over medium heat, warm the canola oil. Add shallots, garlic, and red pepper; sauté until the shallot is soft and translucent, approximately 4 minutes. Stir in chipotle powder and cumin; cook for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
  • Combine the roast beef and red potatoes in a pot, add water and beef broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer covered on medium-low until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in oregano, season with salt and pepper.
  • Just before serving, gently mix in the chopped parsley. Top each bowl with a few slices of hard-cooked egg for an elegant touch.
