Ingredients for 4 People
- 400 g of chicken, cut into pieces
- 400 g of pork ribs
- 300 g of “burballes” pasta
- 50 g of Ramaders Agrupats sobrasada
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 ripe tomato
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 carrot
- A handful of fresh parsley
- 1 bay leaf
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 liter of meat broth or water
Preparation
1. Prepare the Meat
In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil. Add the pork ribs and chicken, browning them well to seal in the juices and add flavor to the stew. Remove the meat and set it aside on a plate.
2. Make the Sofrito with Sobrasada
In the same pot, add a bit more oil if necessary and sauté the chopped onion and garlic until golden. Add the diced green and red peppers and sliced carrot. Cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the Ramaders Agrupats sobrasada and stir well until it melts and combines with the vegetables, adding its unique flavor. Grate the tomato and add it to the mixture. Cook on low heat until the sofrito thickens and becomes rich in flavor.
3. Cooking the Stew
Return the chicken and pork ribs to the pot with the bay leaf. Pour in the meat broth (or water) to cover all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper, and let it simmer over medium heat for about 30-40 minutes, until the meat is tender and flavors are well combined.
4. Add the Pasta
Once the meat is cooked through, add the burballes pasta and stir to mix well with the stew. Cook the pasta according to package instructions, stirring occasionally. The pasta should absorb some of the broth, resulting in a juicy, flavorful dish.
5. Finishing and Serving
Just before turning off the heat, add the chopped fresh parsley and adjust the salt if needed. Let the dish sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
