2 or more pounds of beef, cut up small, about \u00c2\u00bd inch square
\n2 TBS of olive oil or butter
\n\u00c2\u00bc cup of currants
\n1 \u00c2\u00bd cup of red wine
\n\u00c2\u00bd cup of wine or cider vinegar
\n\u00c2\u00bd cup of sugar
\n\u00c2\u00bd tsp each of ginger and cinnamon
\n\u00c2\u00bc tsp of black pepper
\n1 tsp of salt to taste
\n2 TBS of breadcrumbs<\/p>\n
Brown the meat in the oil. Add the rest of ingredients except breadcrumbs and simmer for at least one hour preferably two. Add breadcrumbs to thicken and serve.
\nNOTES: the orginal receipe called for 2 to 3 white onions cooked whole then chopped. I found this very difficult and recommend chopping the onions, cooking in boiling water for 3 minutes, draining and then adding to the stew with the rest of the ingredients. I did not have enough red wine and put in \u00c2\u00be cup of red wine and 1\/4 cup white wine and more enough liquid for two pounds of beef. — Alesia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
