Cuban Stew

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs shredded beef (leftover roast or cooked beef cubes shredded)
• 4 chorizo sausages, sliced into rounds (the ones I buy are about 8 inches long each - we like a lot - you can always use less)
• 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1-2 tablespoon cumin, to taste
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 3 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, undrained (garbanzo beans)
• 4 medium idaho potatoes, cubed
• garlic powder
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   If using beef cubes, boil beef cubes for 1 1/2 hours.

2. 2

   Shred beef and save.

3. 3

   Saute onions, peppers and chorizo in oil until vegetables are translucent.

4. 4

   Add the garbanzo beans with the juice from the can, the tomato sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder, potatoes and shredded beef and simmer covered for about an hour and a half- I like the potatoes to be very soft- cook to your preferred doneness.
