Directions: |
Directions:Using a pestle, mash the garlic in the bowl of a mortar. Add the parsley, paprika, and bay leaves, mashing well after each addition. While mixing, drizzle in the olive oil. Rub this mixture over the meat and place the meat in a Dutch oven with the onions and crushed red pepper.
Mix the wine with the water and pour into the pan, adding more wine and water, if needed, in equal amounts so that it comes a third of the way up the side of the roast. (If you wish to marinate this roast, simply cover at this point and set in the refrigerator several hours or overnight, occasionally turning the meat in the marinade).
In the same pan, place the tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the parsley around the meat. Cover tightly and place the pan over medium-high heat. When the liquid starts to boil, reduce the heat and simmer until almost tender, about 1 ½ hours. Add the potatoes and carrots.
Continue to simmer, covered until the beef is tender and vegetables are done (about 30 minutes more).
Remove the beef and vegetables to a serving platter and cover. Reduce the braising liquid by half and pour over the beef and vegetables. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. |
