This Italian style tomato spicy stew reminds me of the sauce I used to eat my raviolis in when I was younger.
It is so easy to prepare. The secret is to let the meat cook, soften and gets the flavor of all the ingredients. Such a hearty recipe, and one of the favourite in our household! I hope you will enjoy it 🙂
I used a pressure cooker like this one on Amazon. But you can use a slow cooker or slow cook it in a classic deep pan. If you do, make sure to cook in very low heat to not burn the stew!

Instructions
- Cut the meat in medium pieces

- Add the paprika, the salt and pepper and the bay leaves
- Set the pressure cooker on "stew" for one hour- if you don't have a pressure cooker, you can slow cook this for 6 to 8 hours.
- The slower and longer it cooks, the softer the meat gets!
