Hot pot potatoes

Step 1

Heat the oil in a pan; once hot (not smoking), add the beef and seasonings - thyme, chicken bouillon, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Continue stirring in the oil until the seasonings are well distributed, and the meat is well browned.

Step 2

Stir in the onions, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Add the garlic and ginger, cover, and cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and release their juice.

Step 3

Add the potatoes and the chicken broth, stir, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender enough to cut easily with a spoon.

Step 4

Add the bell peppers about 3-4 minutes before the end of the cooking time and continue to cook until they soften but still have a bite to them.

Step 5

You can serve it as a complete meal or serve it with a side of crusty bread.
