It will take a little longer in a regular pot, here are the directions. 😊
- Sauté the aromatics: Heat a bit of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
- Brown the meat: Add the meat to the pot and sear it on all sides for better flavor.
- Build the base: Stir in the carrot slices, crushed tomatoes, wine, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed.
- Add chouriço and potatoes: Once the meat is tender, add the sliced chouriço and diced potatoes. Continue simmering, uncovered, for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are nearly cooked.
- Finish with peas: Add the peas and more water if necessary. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes until everything is cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. This method ensures the meat becomes just as tender as in a pressure cooker but takes longer to develop flavors.
Enjoy! 😊
