Spanish Style Beef Stew

Hi everyone! Here you have one of my favourite dishes. I have prepared this traditional recipe using Scottish beef. However you can cook any type of meat following the same steps. You can use either chicken or pork and the result will be great too.
In Spain children love this dish, and it is a good way of introducing vegetables to their diet. When my son was younger, I used to mash this dish using a blender and he really loved it! I hope you enjoy this Spanish recipe. It is full of flavour and scent provided by spices such as cumin or saffron.
