Ingredients:

500 grams of ground beef

500 grams of potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

1 carrot, grated

2 tomatoes, diced

1 tablespoon of tomato paste

1 teaspoon of paprika

1/2 teaspoon of cumin

1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

500 milliliters of beef broth

3 tablespoons of olive oil

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Meat Filling

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes.

Next, add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned and fully cooked. Break up any large chunks of meat with a wooden spoon to ensure it cooks evenly.

Once the meat is cooked, add the diced red and green bell peppers, grated carrot, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Now it’s time to add the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the flavors have melded together. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

2. Prepare the Potato Layers

Preheat your MAMBO kitchen appliance to 180°C.

In a separate bowl, toss the thinly sliced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until they are well coated.

Arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom of a greased baking dish. Make sure the potatoes are evenly spread out to create a solid base for the dish.

Place the baking dish in the preheated MAMBO and bake the potatoes for 10 minutes, or until they are slightly softened.

3. Assemble and Bake the Pastel de Carne y Patata

Once the potatoes are slightly softened, remove the baking dish from the MAMBO and spread half of the meat filling over the potatoes in an even layer.

Add another layer of potatoes on top of the meat filling, followed by the remaining meat filling. Spread everything out evenly.

Finally, top the dish with a final layer of potatoes.

Place the baking dish back in the MAMBO and bake the Pastel de Carne y Patata at 180°C for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
