Method
- In the biggest saucepan you own, heat the olive oil. Add the pork and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly until browned.
- Remove the pork, and then fry the chopped garlic and diced onions for two minutes in the same pan.
- Add the peppers and slices of chorizo, and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Pour the passata, tomato puree, vegetable stock and white wine over the ingredients, add the bay leaf, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat, cover and leave to simmer on low for 1 hour, stirring after half an hour.
- After the full hour has passed, add the olives and new potatoes to the pan and cook for a further hour, until the meat is tender and the potatoes are soft. Check the stew halfway through cooking - if the liquid evaporates too quickly, you can add a little extra passata or vegetable stock to loosen the mixture.
- Once cooked, season the stew to taste and serve in bowls on a cold winter's night!
