Stew with potatoes and peas.
In a classic pot, pressure cooker, and with the Bimby.
It’s a classic dish of Italian cuisine, but every place has its own recipe, some make it white, some with tomatoes, and some with potatoes and peas.
Today, I present it to you as my grandmother used to make it. She used the muscle.
For many, the muscle part might not seem the most suitable, but we’ve always found it to work well.

Steps
Let’s go to the kitchen
Peel the carrot and onion, and remove the strings from the celery.
Chop them coarsely, in the pot with extra virgin olive oil and the herbs.
Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes
Meanwhile, cut the meat into 1.5-inch cubes and…
Add it to the pot and brown, stirring
until it changes color and becomes light
Deglaze with the wine and let it evaporate.
After the wine has completely evaporated, add the tomatoes and about 2 cups of water.
In a traditional pot, cook with the lid on for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed.
In a pressure cooker, only 1 1/4 cups of water is needed, and cook for 20 minutes from the whistle.Afterwards, open the lid and pierce the meat with a fork; it should seem almost cooked. Then add the peas and potatoes cut into 1.5-inch pieces
Continue cooking without the lid in the traditional pot to evaporate the liquids. Finally, adjust salt and pepper to taste.
In the pressure cooker, you can close the lid again and let it whistle for 5 minutes. Finally, adjust salt and pepper.As you can see, I add salt at the end; otherwise, the meat would become tough.
