Carne con papa recipe - TM2S

Cooking with oil is inevitable when preparing a Hispanic meal (like the Carne Con Papa Recipe I am sharing with you below), so I prefer to use Olive Oil instead. It’s a healthier alternative to make the foods my family and I enjoy eating.

For this Carne Con Papa Recipe, I’ll be using Carbonell Extra Virgin Olive Oil but they do have 3 varieties for you to choose from (You select the one that works for your intended use):

carbonell 3 bottles

  • Carbonell Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A rich taste and smooth flavor that will bring a wonderful Spanish flavor to salads, dips, marinades or when drizzled over finished dishes.
  • Carbonell Extra Light Olive Oil: A light taste that’s perfect for high-heat cooking such as frying, sautéing, and even baking.
  • Carbonell Classic Olive Oil: A traditional, mild flavor that’s an all-purpose cooking oil, adding a mild flavor to soups, sauces and grilled meats and vegetables.

Now onto making Carne Con Papa (Translation: Meat and Potatoes)

Ingredients

Carne con papa ingredients

  • ¼ cup Carbonelle Olive Oil
  • 2 1/2 pounds beef beef for stew (already pre-cut)
  • 1 cup Cooking Wine
  • 4 large peeled potatoes, cut into cubes
  • 1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • ½ small white onion, chopped
  • ½ green bell pepper, seeded & chopped
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dry oregano
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 beef boullion cubes
  • 1 packet of Sazon
  • 2 tablespoons Complete Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Lawry’s

Optional Items that make it extra delicious:

  • Chorizo
  • 1 can of Carrots
  • 1/2 can of Peas

Directions:

  • In a big skillet (I use a pressure cooker), heat the olive oil, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat.

*If you are using a crock pot, add the ingredients you heated in the skillet along with the rest of the ingredients inside of the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours.

  • Add the meat and brown it (If you are adding chorizo, add it now)
  • Add the tomato sauce and cooking wine and stir.
  • Add in the potatoes, carrots and peas.
  • Add enough water to cover meat and vegetables.
  • Add the remaining spices (salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, boullion cubes, Sazon, Complete Seasoning, Garlic Salt & Lawry’s) and stir.
  • Cook for 45 minutes (or until meat is tender)
